Starboard One Truss

The Starboard One (S1) Truss contains three radiator panels which will eventually help cool the space station. There is a Crew and Equipment Translation Aid (CETA) cart which can serve as a work platform for astronauts during EVA's. It also contains a S-band antenna to serve as a backup for radio transmissions to Earth.
