In The Space Station Processing Facility, a Multi-Element Integration Test (MEIT) is underway to ensure components of the International Space Station work together before they are launched into orbit. Within the framework at right is the U.S. Lab, called Destiny; at left is the Z-1 truss. The current MEIT combines the P-6 photovoltaic module, the Z-1 truss and the Pressurized Mating Adapter 3. Electrical and fluid connections are being hooked up to verify how the ISS elements operate together
