Workers in the Space Station Processing Facility watch as cables and a crane lift the Passive Common Berthing Mechanism (PCBM) before mating it to the Z1 integrated truss structure, a component of the International Space Station (ISS). The Z1 truss will be used for the temporary installation of the P6 truss segment to the Unity connecting module. The P6 truss segment contains the solar arrays and batteries which will provide early station power. The truss is scheduled to be launched aboard STS-92 in late 1999 KSC-98pc1659
