of the UCP. The KYA is a U-shaped structure whose primary purpose is to transfer UCP loads to the Orbiter via longeron and keel trunnions. The KYA’s design allowed it to be installed under pressurized tunnel sections in the Orbiter payload bay, thereby allowing the ICC-G to be used in conjunction with a SPACEHAB pressurized module. The ICC-G flew on seven Space Shuttle missions:
159:, scuff plates and a deployment kit to allow UCP separation from the KYA. The UCP is deployed while the KYA remains in the Orbiter cargo bay. On-orbit, the UCP can be removed from the Orbiter payload bay, used as a payload / experiment platform, and returned to the payload bay on the same or a subsequent flight. Two ICC-GDs were launched and permanently attached to the ISS as 237:(EVA) assistance to the respective locations on the ISS. The ICC-VLD provided heater power and electrical connections for the ORUs while inside the cargo bay or grappled by the robotic arm. Upon completion of ORU removal and replacement activities (R&R), the ICC-VLDs were both berthed back into the orbiter and returned to earth. The ICC-VLD flew on the Shuttle missions 252:) Adapter Plate (PFRAM) (for ORUs) or mounted directly to the UCP's node hole or peripheral hole pattern. The general ICC design also incorporates avionic systems allowing for on-board data acquisition/processing/WLAN via integrated computer as well as power distribution for the cargoes via Power Distribution Unit (PDU) while installed on the 212:
The ICC-VLD is a derivative of the not-flown ICC-V. Due to the modular pallet design of the ICC-V which is composed of one central core section and two identical outer sections that bolt to the upper and lower edges of the core section, the ICC-VLD is converted from the octagonal-shaped ICC-V design

The UCP is the primary structural element of the ICC that provides structural support for payload items carried in the unpressurized volume of the Orbiter’s cargo bay. The ICC-G UCP's dimensions are approx. 14 feet (width) × 8.5 feet (length) × 10 inches (thick). Cargoes can be mounted on both faces
