It would be interesting to know, how much the thing weights. --Bricktop 17:21, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

• I've sent an email to someone who worked on the OBSS. Hopefully they can provide some specifications. --Dan East 22:21, July 29, 2005 (UTC)

todo

• there are 3 OBSS (cite)
• weight ?
• non-flexible
• built relatively fast because partly uses old canadarm spares (cite)
• bring some order in the article. (no headings atm)

Are there just two

A recent shuttle processing report seems to imply there are just two OBSS kits. Presumably there is one on Atlantis at the pad, and the report mentions another just moved from Discovery to Endeavor. How many were built? Did one get off-loaded at ISS? (sdsds - talk) 00:33, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

The OBSS that will stay at ISS is the one just before the Kibo PM launch (so STS-123 before STS-124). So either one is being retrofitted, kept back as a spare or there is indeed only 2 of them. There have been long discussions about this already on the NSF forums. We don't know how many Canadarms are left in use, nor how many OBSS. One of the reason is that using spare components as well as cannibalizing arms has occurred. Not even one of the JSC guys who visits the NSF forums could figure it out anymore. My best guess atm on OBSS is that 3 were constructed, one of which is just "spare components" and not actually in use, but that is just a guess. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 01:41, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Neptec LCS Visualization.jpg

Image:Neptec LCS Visualization.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
