It is envisioned to be the largest plant growth chamber yet to be developed for ISS. The APH is designed to support commercial and fundamental plant research by providing a broad range of environmental control, analytical, and operational capabilities. The APH science accommodation strategy is to optimize these capabilities within resource constraints (mass, volume, power and crew time). Components of the APH consists of the Growth Light Assembly, Thermal Control Subsystem, Science Carrier, Structural Mounting Assembly, Growth Chamber, Water Recovery and Distribution Subassembly, Power Distribution Assembly, Environmental Control System, Avionics and Fluids Drawer. APH integrates proven microgravity plant growth technologies and is based on an open architecture concept to allow critical subsystems to be removed and replaced onboard the ISS.application/pdfengPlantsPlant HabitatsBLSSSpace BiologyPresentation
