KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- In the Space Station Processing Facility, workers get ready to lower the International Space Station’s P4 truss onto a workstand. Part of the 10-truss, girder-like structure that will ultimately extend the length of a football field, the P4 is the second port truss segment that will attach to the first port truss segment (P1 truss). The P4 is scheduled for mission 12A in September 2002. KSC-00pp1095

The P-1 truss, a component of the International Space Station, arrives inside the RLV hangar, located near the Shuttle Landing Facility at KSC. Approaching bad weather caused the detour as a precaution. The truss will eventually be transferred to the Operations and Checkout Building for processing. The P-1 truss, scheduled to fly in spring of 2002, is part of a total 10-truss, girder-like structure on the Station that will ultimately extend the length of a football field. Astronauts will attach the 14-by-15 foot structure to the port side of the center truss, S0, during the spring assembly flight. The 33,000-pound P-1 will house the thermal radiator rotating joint (TRRJ) that will rotate the Station’s radiators away from the sun to increase their maximum cooling efficiency KSC-00pp1043

On July 26, 2000 the P-1 truss arrived at Kennedy Space Center’s Shuttle Landing Facility aboard its "Super Guppy" transport. A flatbed truck was backed up to begin the off loading of the P-1 truss in preparation for movement to the Operations and Checkout Building for processing. The P-1 truss, scheduled to fly in spring of 2002, is part of a total 10-truss, girder-like structure that will ultimately extend the length of a football field. Astronauts will attach the 14-by-15 foot structure to the port side of the center truss, SO, during the spring assembly flight.

On July 26, 2000 the P-1 truss arrived at Kennedy Space Center’s Shuttle Landing Facility aboard its "Super Guppy" transport. The transport’s cargo bay was opened showing the American flag and NASA logo as the P-1 truss was off loaded in preparation for movement to the Operations and Checkout Building for processing. The P-1 truss, scheduled to fly in spring of 2002, is part of a total 10-truss, girder-like structure that will ultimately extend the length of a football field.
