[82], The specific conceptual designs that emerged from the Task Force were soon overcome by events. Learn more. [63], By 1972, requirements analysis for the Shuttle Program estimated that almost 40% of mission objectives would involve assembly by placing a payload into the Orbiter's Payload Bay.
This blurred common distinctions between berthing and docking, being positioned by the RMS but actuated by Orbiter thruster firings. Near the end of the maneuver, the operator negotiates a tight corridor as the PCBM begins to mesh with the ACBM.

Multiple bolt jams during Cupola deberth. Also seen are a capture latch (4), a capture fitting (5), some electrical/control harnessing, and a quadrant's complement of mated alignment guides. A debris cover had been added to the ACBM concept. Regarding the initial stages of the merged programs: The CBM Qualification project is discussed by nine available sources. For cell fenders installed on the berth, the bending moment imparted by the hull pressing against the fender should be within the strength of the fender. Not all strategies were easily implemented in all orbital directions, which threatened the ability to assemble in some of those directions. Looks like you’ve clipped this slide to already. Berthing structures are classified as vertical face structures (vertical face type) and open piled structures (open type) (Agerschou et al., 1983) . See, Because they deal with radiation, these issues are often referred to as “thermal-optical”. Elastomers, such as the PCBM's face seal, are particularly sensitive to AO. All the figures, drawings and pictures are property of thenavalarch except where indicated, and may not be copied or distributed without permission. The flap is restrained by “hook and loop” closure, held with a snap. The bolted joint compresses two concentric o-ring seals: one is silicone (for better temperature performance), and the other is fluorocarbon (for better resistance to scrubbing). Covers (2) can also be placed over the joint's bolt heads, each of which is a potential leak path through the joint. The utility runs allow them to be tapped from many stations along their length. This frame was taken from a real-time contact dynamics simulation created at JSC. Bolt extraction, cover closure, and CBM shutdown: Demate contingency operations are indexed on pp. An 8-channel multiplexing motor controller could be remotely switched between latches, with two controllers required for each module having an ACBM. The petal structure can be separated from the deployment mechanism with two bolts (4). Required fields are marked *. The photograph was taken from the PCBM side of the mated vestibule, looking back into the ACBM. Outward-oriented guide petals were also located on the outboard radius, giving the mechanism an overall diameter of about 85 inches. Both sides of the joint are shaped to accommodate the IVA seal in a contingency. Similarly, high temperatures in tropical zones and ship vibrations can be additional factors which lower the life and performance of fenders. If you wish to opt out, please close your SlideShare account. There are different types and ranges of fenders, depending on many variables, including dimension and displacement of boats, maximum allowable stand-off, specific berthing structure, tidal …
[45], The original design of the ISS called for a Habitat element to be installed on the Nadir-facing port of Node 1 (Unity), and bulkhead penetrations were designed accordingly. Bolts finishing earlier can see their indicated load change as subsequent bolts seat their nuts. If something goes wrong here, your entire waterfront design could be at risk. Small holes and sunken channels between the seal beads permit leak testing of the CBM/CBM joint once mated.
