Science Power Platform

ISS Science Power Platform (NASA)

The Science Power Platform (SPP; Russian: Научно-Энергетическая Платформа, Sci-Energy Platform, also known by Russian initialism NEP) was a planned Russian element of the International Space Station (ISS) that was intended to be delivered to the ISS by a Russian Proton rocket or Zenit rocket (it was originally designed to be part of Mir-2) but was shifted to launch by Space Shuttle as part as a tradeoff agreement on other parts of the ISS.
