Add to ORKGThe Wake Shield Facility (WSF) is a space transportation system (STS) payload that is scheduled for launch on STS-60 in November, 1993. It is being designed, tested and integrated into the STS by Space Industries Inc. for the University of Houston's Space Vacuum Epitaxy Center, a NASA Center for the Commercial Development of Space. The WSF is composed of two main components: a cross-bay carrier and a free-flying experimental platform. The WSF's primary objective is the epitaxial growth of thin films by controlled beam techniques in the ultra-high vacuum that exists in the wake of the free-flyer. The Retention Latch Mechanism (RLM) has been developed to act as the structural interface between the free-flyer and the carrier
