Photo Title:  International Space Station's Z1 Integrated Truss Segment arrives in SSPF
Photo Date:   02/18/1998

Workers in KSC's Space Station Processing Facility (SSPF) assist in
removing the protective casing from the Z1 Integrated Truss Segment
(ITS), a major element of the STS-92 mission scheduled for launch
aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis in January 1999. The Z-1 truss supports
the staged buildup of International Space Station (ISS) on this third
scheduled flight for ISS. The Z1 truss allows the temporary
installation of the U.S. power module to Node 1.  Early in the
assembly sequence, the purpose of Z1 is to provide a mounting location
for Ku-band and S-band telemetry and extravehicular activity (EVA)
equipment. It also provides common berthing mechanism hardcover
stowage. In addition, it will assist with the execution of
nonpropulsive attitude control. The truss arrived at KSC on Feb. 17
for preflight processing in the SSPF.

The Pressurized Mating Adapter-3 (PMA-3), an element of the STS-92
mission scheduled for launch aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis in January
1999, arrived from the Boeing Company in Huntington Beach, Calif., for
processing in KSC's Space Station Processing Facility (SSPF). While in
orbit, PMA-3 will be removed from the orbiter's payload bay by the
astronauts using the remote manipulator arm and mated to Node 1, a
connecting passageway to the living and working areas of the
International Space Station. The primary purpose of PMA-3 is to serve
as a Shuttle docking port through which crew members and equipment
will transfer to the International Space Station during later assembly
missions.

During suitup in the Operations and Checkout Building, STS-92 Mission
Specialist Leroy Chiao gives thumbs up for launch. With him (left) is
VITT Mission Lead Roland Nedelkovich, from Houston. During the 11-day
mission to the International Space Station, four extravehicular
activities (EVAs), or spacewalks, are planned for construction. The
payload includes the Integrated Truss Structure Z-1 and the third
Pressurized Mating Adapter. The Z-1 truss is the first of 10 that will
become the backbone of the Space Station, eventually stretching the
length of a football field. PMA-3 will provide a Shuttle docking port
for solar array installation on the sixth Station flight and Lab
installation on the seventh Station flight.  Launch is scheduled for
7:17 p.m. EDT. Landing is expected Oct. 22 at 2:10 p.m. EDT.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- A locking pin can be seen in the
background, almost as a shadow, next to the orbiter aft ET
attachment. Locking pins are used to secure handrails on the platforms
while work is being performed. The misplaced pin was noticed during an
inspection prior to launch, causing the decision to scrub about 90
minutes before liftoff. Launch was rescheduled for Oct. 11 at 7:17
