Fig. 6. Relative motion of the SFU platform and the orbiter for high-voltage solar array test. When the final data is collected, the allocation of the PLU boxes to the main structure will be finalized. Then the PLU boxes will be returned to the integrator working with the coordinator to be assembled with the main structure. Interface tests between the experiments and the platform will be conducted with the flight hardware of the STS terminal and ground support equipment which will be used during the flight operation. Then the total system of the platform will be delivered to the STS operator. Flight Phase During the flight phase, the investigators will mostly stay on the ground, participating in a ground operation team. There will be two types of experiments in terms of involvement of payload crew. Some experiments will demand real-time interaction of operator with experimental process, and others will not. For the SFU flight
