So I'm working on an updated rack topology diagram following the HTV-5 rack transfers.Changes to the most recent topology diagram (posted below) are as follows:. MSPR-2 to JPM1F2. Galley rack to NOD1P4The ZSR that was previously located at NOD1P4 I presume has now gone to the PMM, but I don't know to which bay. Also at least one RSP has been removed from the PMM for disposal via HTV, but again I don't know which bay it came from. As such I now have no idea as to the rack configuration of the PMM, so I may have to omit it from a future topology diagram.Is anyone else aware of any other changes in rack topology since the last diagram that are not listed above?
Very pretty Space Pete. And interesting. But sooo many TLAs.Could look them up if there were more hours in a day but, given that you reissue this from time to time, would be much better if you could find a way to include a list of definitions. Perhaps move the colour key to the left to make a space? A smaller font would be fine. Also, an explanation of SDPO, OADF, etc.Just my 2p worth.
Added with reply #15 (page1) is a document called Rack SE, this explains the abreviations a bit. I will update that document.I've added the document. A lot of information is from the txt. document Jonatan made a couple of years ago. So I should thank him for his work back than. @SpacePete If you want to add the NSS logo and claim the autor rights it's fine by me. I couldn't have made this without NSS. I've also added a small document that just explains the abreviations
As announced I've made a Excel file with the ISS rack topology. But now I also want to include:- the Class 2 facilities, aka, the payloads inside the EXPRESS rack's, EDR, MSPR's, MSG.- External payloads.- Launches: what goes up and comes down.This is a first rough release. (It needs some improvements)Feel free to suggest improvements. And feel free to modify the document and use it (or parts of it).In my opinion this document couldn't have been created without the NSF community. So NSF has the author rights.
Rack Swap in US Lab: The crew swapped the Zero-G Stowage Rack (ZSR) in the LAB1O5 location with the Crew Health Care System (CheCS) Rack in the LAB1D4 location. This swap was in preparation for a new Water Storage System (WSS) to be built into the ZSR later next year. During the swap, the CheCS Rack needed to be temporarily moved to Node 1. A Hatch Seal inspection was performed for the Node 1 Forward and the Lab Aft hatches following the transfer the activities. The Hatch Seal inspections are required to verify no damage following the transfer of the CHeCS rack through these hatches to perform the rack swap.
ISS Daily Summary Report – 1/29/2018Permanent Multipurpose Module (PMM) rack moves: In order to increase efficiency in the PMM, today the crew moved several stowage racks inside the PMM. The crew moved a Zero-G Stowage Rack (ZSR) and Resupply Stowage Platform (RSP), allowing easier accessibility to the stowage in these racks.
HTV-7 will also bring 6x Li-Ion batteries to the ISS as replacement for 12 old ones.I wonder where they plan to place the HTV ULC (Unpressurised Logistics Carrier).
I'm finding it interesting there are rack topology enthusiasts that do this for fun. From 1994 to 2002 it was my team's full time job doing this (VIPER). First it was just me and eventually they created an entire organization to manage cargo and stowage. Most of the terminology you see here we created that from scratch. If there are any questions about why things were done the way they were in the past I probably know why. I haven't kept up with the current configuration, too busy building spacesuits. Cheers.

This included performing a stowage rack swap that moved two Resupply Stowage Platforms (RSP) and a Resupply Stowage Rack (RSR) from the ISS Permanent Multipurpose Module (PMM) to the HTV vehicle in exchange for the installation of two Zero-G Stowage Racks (ZSR) shells in the PMM. This reconfiguration of the PMM will increase overall stowage capacity and volume efficiency in the PMM than the previous configuration.Node 1 Galley Rack: Early yesterday morning, the Node 1 Galley Rack experienced an electrical power overcurrent event. Therefore, due to issues with the Node 1 Galley Rack power draw, ground teams worked with the crew to relocate the Potable Water Dispenser (PWD) from the Node 1 Galley Rack to Express Rack 8 in the US Lab. In addition, the crew’s food warmer was moved from the Russian Segment to Node 1. While ground teams continue to troubleshoot the Node 1 Galley Rack overcurrent event, the relocations allow the crew to keep using the PWD and the food warmer.Today’s Planned Activities:Structures and Mechanisms Permanent Multipurpose Module Deck 2 Zero-G Stowage Rack Installation.Structures and Mechanisms Permanent Multipurpose Module Starboard 2 Resupply Stowage Platform Transfer.ISS Daily Status report 10/24/2019: LinkQuoteLook Ahead: Friday, 10/25 (GMT 298)S&M PMM1S2 ZSR InstallToday’s Planned Activities:Mass Measurement Device Hardware Setup in Support of VEG-04BISS Daily Status report 10/28/2019: linkQuoteHTV8 Unberth/ISS Outfitting: In preparation for the HTV8 Unberth on November 1, the crew completed the transfer of the final Resupply Stowage Platform (RSP) Rack from the Permanent Multipurpose Module (PMM) Starboard 3 location to HTV8S2 aisle-way location. Resupply Stowage Platforms (RSP) removed from the PMM and replaced with new stowage racks will enable improved stowage efficiency.So now we know where the RSR and two RSP's came from and where the two ZSR's went to. The new current topology. I'm uncertain if mares is still stowed inside PMM of if it has been deorbited.Edit to add: I've also made a pole for the frequency the topology has to be updated.
