The THM is the pressurised part of the TV and consists of a main cylinder and two nodes: a back<br />

and a front node. Each of these three parts can be sealed hermetically in case of depressurisation.<br />

If the main cylinder depressurises, the crew has to be evacuated to the front or back node for a<br />

couple of days until the leakage has been repaired.<br />

Table 3-6 the dimensions of the main cylinder and the nodes. The pressurised volume fulfils the<br />

requird 450 m 3 .<br />
