Description:

• Module P6 (huge set of solar arrays) was delivered into space with Space Shuttle STS-97 "Endeavour" (flight ISS-4A) and mounted on module "Z1" of ISS.
• P6 consists of a solar array wing, an Integrated Electronics Assembly (IEA) section with a thermal radiator for the solar wing, and the Long Spacer (LS) truss segment with two thermal radiators for the Destiny module (which will follow on a later flight). P6 will be installed on the +Z end of the Z1 truss; later in assembly it will be moved to the end of the port truss.
