| Overview |
| OSRF, an advanced technology thermoelectric refrigerator freezer, is being flown for the first time on STS-95 in support of the BRIC and VFEU payloads. The OSRF can be mounted as a double locker assembly in either the orbiter middeck, replacing two standard stowage lockers, or in the SPACEHAB module via a double experiment mounting plate. On STS-95, OSRF will operate in the SPACEHAB module at 4 degrees C. Capable of the supporting life sciences and other requirements, OSRF offers a refrigerated payload volume of 1.85 cubic feet with minimal required maintenance. Each OSRF unit (including desiccant pack) weighs 80.27 pounds (without contents) and operates with continuous power of 70 Watts and 380 Watts peak. STS-95 crew members will spend approximately 40 minutes total performing daily OSRF status checks. |
