... Expected NICMOS Performance after HST Servicing Mission 3 . NICMOS Cooling System Design . ... NASA is developing the NICMOS Cooling System (NCS) to provide operation of NICMOS beyond the exhaustion of its stored solid nitrogen cryogen. ... The NCS combines an external radiator identical in design to the ACS/STIS Aft Shroud Cooling System (ASCS) planned for SM3, a Creare, Inc. reverse-Brayton cycle turbine cooler, and an EVA installed neon loop to the NICMOS dewar's cooling coil. ...

The usb.ids file is used by the USB subsystem to identify devices. In Suse systems the file is located in /usr/share/. The version included here is a recent version needed to add Apogee identifiers when Alta cameras are used.
