The structures and mechanical subsystem of a space station are considered. The subsystem includes basic structure (pressurization, equipment support, meteoroid protection, radiators, insulation, and docking interfaces), the docking mechanisms, spacecraft access (hatches, airlocks, and view ports), and antenna deployment mechanisms. Checkout is discussed in terms of reliability, failure analysis, and maintenance.
