SCOPE
This specification and the Space Station Manned Base (SSMB) to Attached Pressurized Module (APM) Interface Requirements Document (IRD) and the International Standard Payload Rack (ISPR) IRD establish the performance and design requirements for the European APM. This specification has been developed using paragraphs from the Joint Program Definition and Requirements Document (JPDRD), JESA 30000, section 3 and section 6, with an outline from SSP 41171 (MIL-STD-490) as a guide. The paragraph headers in section 3.2.1 are based on the functional decomposition allocations to the APM in the International Space Station System Specification, SSP 41000, section 3.7.3. The requirements in section 3.2.1 of this specification define the performance of the APM. Requirements in section 3.2.2 through 3.6 are constraints with which the APM must comply.
The APM has been officially renamed to Columbus Module. For the sake of keeping the naming in the requirements documentation consistent, this Segment Specification continues to use the name APM.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
System definition.
The APM is comprised of a pressurized module used for the conduct of experiments.
System description.
APM.
The APM is a facility developed by ESA for the purpose of supporting microgravity research in an earth orbit as a segment of the International Space Station (ISS). The APM supports internally and externally mounted user payloads. The main purpose of the APM is to support microgravity research in a laboratory environment as a part of the on-orbit Space Station. The Columbus architecture for launch is “scarred” for uplink/downlink capability and external accommodations of the Communication Terminal (CT).
Missions.
The mission of the APM is to perform engineering research, conduct scientific experiments in an international, Earth orbiting, research facility in a microgravity environment at a nominal orbit of 220 nautical miles at 51.6 degree inclination. This mission’s definition is discussed in detail in document SSP 50011-01.
Threat.

FIGURE 1. Deleted Interface requirements.
External interfaces.
The following subparagraphs identify the external interfaces of the APM. The external interfaces of the APM are shown in Figure 2.
FIGURE 2. APM external interfaces United States On-orbit Segment (USOS) external interface descriptions.
The APM interface with the USOS consists of structural/mechanical and utility connections. At this interface the APM receives electrical power and gaseous nitrogen from the USOS; shares data, thermal energy, video, audio, atmosphere, structural/mechanical, loads and vibrations with the USOS; and returns water to the USOS. This interface is applicable during all modes defined by the perform mission on-orbit states. The USOS to APM physical and functional interfaces are described in SSP 41150, Interface Requirements Document United States On-orbit Segment (USOS) to Columbus Attached Pressurized Module (APM).
Canadian Mobile Servicing System external interface descriptions.
The APM interface with the Mobile Servicing System (MSS) consists of mechanical and utility connections. These interfaces permit the MSS Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS) to translate and position the APM, and to provide necessary “keep alive” utilities. MSS interfaces also allow the use of Special Dexterous Manipulator (SPDM) for external payloads installation and operations on the APM External Payloads Facility. At the interface the APM can receive power and data, and shares a mechanical interface, loads, and vibrations. This interface is applicable during unberthed survival modes for SSRMS interfaces, and nominal operational modes for SPDM interfaces. The MSS to APM physical and functional interfaces are described in SSP 42004, Mobile Servicing System (MSS) to User (Generic) Interface Control Document Part I.
Deleted.
Deleted.
Orbiter external interface description.
The APM interface with the Orbiter consists of mechanical connections. This interface is applicable to the transport of the APM by the Orbiter. The APM to Orbiter physical and functional interfaces will be defined in a mission unique Interface Control Document (ICD) developed from NSTS 21000-IDD-ISS, International Space Station Interface Definition Document.
Launch/landing site support facilities external interface description.
For launch of APM equipment and payloads by the Orbiter, the NASA launch/landing site support facilities are used. The detailed requirements for these physical and functional interfaces are defined in SID 82K0076.
User payloads external interface description.
The APM interface will consist of the areas needed to support user payloads. The APM interface to internal user payloads is defined in SSP 41002, International Standard Payload Rack to NASA/ESA/NASDA Modules Interface Control Document.
The APM interface to external user payloads is defined in SSP 42001, Space Station Manned Base to Columbus Attached Pressurized Module Interface Control Document.
Deleted.
Crew external interface descriptions.
The APM interfaces with the crew to allow the monitoring and control of user payloads, conduct of scientific experiments, and to perform maintenance tasks. The crew interfaces with the APM, as a segment of the International Space Station, are described in SSP 50011-01.
Characteristics.
Performance characteristics.
State: Perform mission - On-orbit.
A stable condition of the Space Station defined by the provision of unique station modes to support the accomplishment of mission objectives.
Mode: Standard.
This mode represents the core operations of the Space Station when it is tended or preparing to support a human presence. The vehicle actively determines and controls its attitude non-propulsively. This mode provides a “shirt sleeve” environment for the crew. Both internal and external user payload operations are being supported, monitored, and controlled. The crew can perform Intravehicular Activity (IVA) maintenance actions. The functional capabilities for this mode are in the following paragraphs.
Capability: Relieve overpressure.
