Overview of the JEM Exposed Facility
Abstract
Space Station Freedom's Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) system requirements have been refined over the course of its phase B preliminary design study. Attention is presently given to system requirements for the JEM Exposed Facility (EF) and the characteristics of its baseline configuration. The EF's subsystems are directly exposed to the space environment, and will be concerned with earth observations, communications, materials processing, etc. Attention is here given to the EF's power systems, command/control, thermal control, and user support capabilities.
