Abstract :
The Tile Carrier Transfer Facility (TCTF) was used during the remote tile exchange for the robotic transfer of all equipment in and out of the torus using the short boom in coordination with the mascot and articulated boom. The TCTF has been up rated to support limited duration manned access to the torus where remote handling is impractical
