The Zarya control module, also known by the technical term Functional Cargo Block and the Russian acronym FGB, was the first component launched for the International Space Station and provides the station's initial propulsion and power.... The U. S.-funded and Russian-built Zarya, which means Sunrise when translated to English, is a U. S. component of the station although it was built and launched by Russia.... The Zarya module is 41. 2 feet long and 13. 5 feet wide at its widest point. It has an operational lifetime of at least 15 years. Its solar arrays and six nickel-cadmium batteries can provide an average of 3 kilowatts of electrical power. Using the Russian Kurs system, the Zarya will perform an automated and remotely piloted rendezvous and docking with the Service Module in orbit. Its docking power will accommodate Russian Soyuz piloted spacecraft and unpiloted Progress resupply spacecraft. Each of the two solar arrays is 35 feet long and 11 feet wide. The module's 16 fuel tanks combined can hold more than 6 tons of propellant. The attitude control system for the module includes 24 large steering jets and 12 small steering jets. Two large engines are available for reboosting the spacecraft and making major orbital changes.  6, record 1, English, - Zarya%20control%20module

The Zarya module now provides orientation control, communications and electrical power attached to the passive Unity module while the station awaits launch of the third component, a Russian-provided crew living quarters and early station core known as the Service Module ... The Service Module will enhance or replace many functions of the Zarya. Later in the station’s assembly sequence, the Zarya module will be used primarily for its storage capacity and external fuel tanks.  6, record 1, English, - Zarya%20control%20module

[...] Zarya [«lever de soleil»] est un remorqueur, un véhicule orbital autonome qui contient les systèmes initiaux de propulsion, de guidage, d'orientation, de communications, d'alimentation électrique et de thermorégulation nécessaires au maintien de la Station spatiale internationale pendant ses premiers mois dans l'espace. Au fil des mois, le module Zarya est devenu ni plus ni moins qu'un couloir menant la station, un port d'amarrage et un réservoir de carburant. Construit par la Russie dans le cadre d'un marché américain, Zarya appartient aux États-Unis.  2, record 1, French, - module%20de%20contr%C3%B4le%20Zarya

The Global Transmission System(GTS) provides a capability for transmitting highly accurate time and data signals via the space Station external antenna to ground-based users. The data signals can be coded according to the specific user requirements and can include such information as the station orbital position.... The GTS uses a transmitter operating at two dedicated frequencies and mounted externally on the Russian Service Module. The GTS signals are available to ground receivers for periods of 5-12 min several times a day. Although GTS primarily provides a service to ground users, identical services are available to Russian-element users onboard the station.  2, record 3, English, - global%20transmission%20system

Matroshka is a multi-user external human "phantom" facility representing the upper part of the human body. The goal is to support studies into the depth dose distribution of different orbital radiation field components during Extra Vehicular Activities on different sides of human organs. Matroshka is equipped with user-provided passive and/or active detectors for ionising radiation placed at different locations within the facility. Matroshka will be mounted on the outside of the Russian Service Module.  2, record 4, English, - Matroshka

The PVR [Photovoltaic Radiator] is a critical component of the space station's thermal control system. It will cool the photovoltaic power system electronic equipment and the batteries used for power storage. The PVR will also provide environmental cooling for the service module during early phases of the space station. Each PVR Orbital Replacement Unit(ORU) consists of 7 radiator panels, each about 6 feet by 12 feet in size. The radiator panels are designed to deploy on orbit from a stowed position about 2 feet high to an extended position about 50 feet in length. Each ORU weighs about 1, 600 pounds, with a total of 4 units in the final space station configuration.  2, record 5, English, - photovoltaic%20radiator
