GATOR assembly was installed on the
Columbus module, flight-day 6 during STS-129.
GATOR is part of a project
to demonstrate two different types of
Automatic Identification System receivers,
which is an existing system that’s currently
used by ships and United States Coast Guard’s
Vessel Traffic Services to exchange data such as
identification of the ships, their purpose, course
and speed. The assembly also includes an
antenna used for HAM radio.
The GATOR assembly includes two antennas, a
cable harness and two clamps. The antennas were
secured with two bolts apiece.
