Flight 15 - UF-1 Launch Date: ? Launch Vehicle: STS-109 Elements: MPLM, PV Module batteries, Spares Pallet (spares warehouse)
Provides for research work by delivering experiment racks for US Laboratory and two storage racks. Spares Pallet provides an exterior "warehouse" for spare station parts. Attached to the exterior of the station airlock, it will house spare replacement equipment for station maintenance in a location convenient to spacewalking astronauts..

EXPRESS is the acronym for EXpedite The PRocessing of Experiments to Space Station. The EXPRESS program consists of two separate systems: the EXPRESS rack for pressurized payloads and the EXPRESS pallet for attached payloads. The EXPRESS pallet for attached payloads is provided by Brazil as a participant through a bilateral arrangement with the United States and the Brazilian Space Agency (AEB). Attached Payloads are located outside of the pressurized volume of the Space Station on the truss or the Japanese Experiment Module Exposed Facility (JEM EF). The EXPRESS Pallet can be located at any site on the truss segment, has six robotically replaceable adapters for payloads or payload complements.

Attached payloads may use the Station power, command and data handling system and video. The crew will interface using robotics for installation and removal of the attached payloads, with no nominal EVA operations anticipated.
