The Window Observation Research Facility (WORF) will provide a stable platform for payloads that will utilize the International Space Station (ISS) U.S. Laboratory nadir research window. This facility, which will be built around a standard Express Rack, will include standard mounting interfaces, and access to U.S. Laboratory utilities to accommodate up to two payloads. In addition, the facility will support crew members conducting Earth observation activities, by providing interfaces for mounting restraints and two adjustable brackets for mounting still cameras and camcorders. Payloads will be able to choose between a number of operational modes, ranging from crew occupied to completely autonomous. The WORF will be launched on Utilization Flight UF-1 in November of 2000, and will be among the first research payloads installed in the U.S. Laboratory.
