b. Pressurized module

The pressurized section is designed to be attached to the pressurized module and to carry and store the payload required for intravehicular activity.

It consists of a pressurized section and an exposed section.

The pressurized module will provide an environment of one atmospheric pressure.

The exposed facility is designed to be connected to the pressurized module.

And in nature there are lots of examples of very efficient structures based on pressurized membranes.

The outer surface of the pressurized module will be covered with a bumper to guard against space debris.

ESA has continued to develop the Columbus Orbital Facility (COF a pressurized laboratory) and laboratory support equipment for early scientific use.

Water from many so called improved sources is contaminated because of poorly maintained or intermittently pressurized networks or untreated and contaminated source water.

The first 540 megawatt (MWe) pressurized heavy water reactor (PHWR) unit at Tarapur has commenced commercial operations about seven months ahead of schedule.

JEM, which is being designed in accordance with those requirements, will consist of a pressurized module, an exposed facility and an experiment logistics module.

The JEM manipulator will be used to exchange experimental equipment or samples between the exposed section of the experiment logistics module and, through the airlock, the pressurized module.

Japan has been developing the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM), consisting of a multipurpose pressurized laboratory element, an unpressurized exposed facility, a remote manipulator system, and experiments logistics modules.
