An alphanumeric interior and exterior location coding system for elements of the Space Station is presented as an aid in identifying specific locations aboard the Station and possibly in locating specific items of loose equipment stowed in these locations. Past experience with long-duration missions has demonstrated the difficulty of tracking loose equipment aboard spacecraft. Inasmuch as over 50,000 items of loose equipment must be accounted for aboard Space Station Freedom there is a high potential for continuing difficulties in this area. It is shown that the alphanumeric location coding system described is simple, logical, and easy to use.
