The Microgravity Acceleration Measurement System will record the quasi-steady microgravity environment, including the influences of aerodynamic drag, vehicle rotation, and venting effects. Measurement of the vibratory/transient regime comprised of vehicle, crew, and equipment disturbances will be accomplished by the Space Acceleration Measurement System-II. Due to the dynamic nature of the microgravity environment and its potential to influence sensitive experiments, Principal Investigators require distribution of microgravity acceleration in a timely and straightforward fashion. In addition to this timely distribution of the data, long term access to International Space Station microgravity environment acceleration data is required. The NASA Glenn Research Center's Principal Investigator Microgravity Services project will provide the means for real-time and post experiment distribution of microgravity acceleration data to microgravity science Principal Investigators. Real-time distribution of microgravity environment acceleration data will be accomplished via the World Wide Web. Data packets from the Microgravity Acceleration Measurement System and the Space Acceleration Measurement System-II will be routed from onboard the International Space Station to the NASA Glenn Research Center's Telescience Support Center. Principal Investigator Microgravity Services' ground support equipment located at the Telescience Support Center will be capable of generating a standard suite of acceleration data displays, including various time domain and frequency domain options. These data displays will be updated in real-time and will periodically update images available via the Principal Investigator Microgravity Services web page.Document ID20000025792Acquisition SourceGlenn Research CenterDocument TypePreprint (Draft being sent to journal)AuthorsMcPherson, Kevin*(NASA Glenn Research Center Cleveland, OH United States)*Date AcquiredSeptember 7, 2013Publication DateDecember 1, 1999Subject CategorySpace ProcessingReport/Patent NumberNASA/TM-1999-209774E-120-54AIAA Paper 2000-0572NAS 1.15:209774Meeting InformationMeeting: 38th Aerospace Sciences MeetingLocation: Reno, NVCountry: United StatesStart Date: January 10, 2000End Date: January 13, 2000Sponsors:American Inst. of Aeronautics and AstronauticsFunding Number(s)PROJECT: RTOP 398-95-OGDistribution LimitsPublicCopyrightPublic Use Permitted.Available DownloadsNameType20000025792.pdfSTIcloud_downloadcontent_copyvisibilityRelated RecordsThere are no records associated with this record.visibility_offNo Preview Available
