Apaiss | RELL "sniffer" scanning the RBVMs of the S1 truss searching for any ammonia leaks (2020, 2021) @Apaiss | Uploaded October 2021 | Updated October 2024, 15 hours ago.
On Sep. 15th, 2020 and Oct.1st, 2021, there was a Robotics External Leak Locator (RELL) scan of the Radiator Beam Valve Modules (RBVM) of the S1 truss Heat Rejection System (HRS) of the International Space Station. The video shows the sequence of both works available in the public feed.
It also shows details of the Robotic Tool Stowage (RiTS) platform in operation on Sep.15th, 2020 video sequence.
The RELL is a mass spectrometer “sniffer”, a robotic remote-controlled tool used to assist with an investigation into possible External Active Thermal Control System (EATCS) anhydrous ammonia (NH3) leaks.
RELL-2 instrumentation was launched on 17 April 2019 as part of the Cygnus NG-11 (Northrop Grumman-11) CRS (Commercial Resupply Mission) to the ISS on the Antares 230 vehicle.
