Extended Duration Orbiter - Meeting the challenge
Abstract
The paper overviews the Extended Duration Orbiter (EDO) program designed to provide an on-orbit stay capability of 16 days using the Orbiter Vehicle OV-102. Special attention is given to the EDO's subsystems and substructures, including the cryogenic pallet, the cryogenic storage tanks, the cryogenic solenoid valves, the regenerable carbon dioxide removal system, and the waste collection system. The EDO program will start with the STS-50 U.S. Microgravity Lab mission planned for June 1992.
