The ExPRESS Logistics Carrier (ELC) is an unpressurized attached payload project for the International Space Station (ISS) that provides mechanical mounting surfaces, electrical power, and command and data handling services for science experiments on the ISS. ('ExPRESS' stands for Expedite the Processing of Experiments to the Space Station.) The ELCs are being developed primarily at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, with support from JSC and MSFC. ELC was formerly called 'Express Pallet' and is the unpressurized counterpart to the pressurized ExPRESS Rack. An ELC provides scientists with a platform and infrastructure to deploy experiments in the vacuum of space without requiring a separate dedicated Earth-orbiting satellite. ELCs interface directly with the ISS integrated truss Common Attach System (CAS).
