SAMS ACCELERATION MEASUREMENTS ON MIR FROM JANUARY TO MAY 1997

Abstract

During NASA Increment 4 (January to May 1997), about 5 gigabytes of acceleration

data were collected by the Space Acceleration Measurement System (SAMS) onboard the Russian Space

Station, Mir. The data were recorded on 28 optical disks which were returned to Earth on STS-84.

During this increment, SAMS data were collected in the Priroda module to support the Mir Structural

Dynamics Experiment (MiSDE), the Binary Colloidal Alloy Tests (BCAT), Angular Liquid Bridge

(ALB), Candle Flames in Microgravity (CFM), Diffusion Controlled Apparatus Module (DCAM),

Enhanced Dynamic Load Sensors (EDLS), Forced Flow Flame Spreading Test (FFFT), Liquid Metal

Diffusion (LMD), Protein Crystal Growth in Dewar (PCG/Dewar), Queen's University Experiments in

Liquid Diffusion (QUELD), and Technical Evaluation of MIM (TEM). This report points out some of

the salient features of the microgravity environment to which these experiments were exposed. Also

documented are mission events of interest such as the docked phase of STS-84 operations, a Progress

engine burn, Soyuz vehicle docking and undocking, and Progress vehicle docking. This report presents

an overview of the SAMS acceleration measurements recorded by 10 Hz and 100 Hz sensor heads. The

analyses included herein complement those presented in previous summary reports prepared by the

Principal Investigator Microgravity Services (PIMS) group.

SAMS ACCELERATION MEASUREMENTS ON MIR FROM JANUARY TO MAY 1997

1. Introduction

The NASA Microgravity Research Division (MRD) sponsors microgravity science experiments on

several carriers, which include the Shuttle Orbiter and the Mir Space Station. The MRD sponsors the

Space Acceleration Measurement System (SAMS) at the NASA Lewis Research Center (LeRC) to

support microgravity experiments with acceleration measurements. The LeRC Principal Investigator

Microgravity Services (PIMS) project supplies principal investigators of microgravity science

experiments and other experiment personnel with data to support the evaluation of the effects of

microgravity on their experiments. PIMS also provides information about on-orbit events such as

equipment operation, reaction control system (RCS) jet firings, crew exercise periods, etc. to assist in

the scheduling of microgravity science experiment operations.

In 1994, a SAMS unit [1] was installed on the Mir Space Station to support U.S. and Russian

microgravity experiments by measuring the microgravity environment during experiment operations.

Previous reports [2-7] have summarized and evaluated the SAMS data acquired during the period from

September 1994 to January 1997.

During NASA Increment 4 (January to May 1997), the SAMS unit supported experiments conducted

in the Priroda module, including the Diffusion Controlled Apparatus Module (DCAM) experiments,

Angular Liquid Bridge (ALB) experiment, experiments conducted in the Microgravity Isolation Mount

(MIM) such as the Technical Evaluation of MIM (TEM), the Liquid Metal Diffusion (LMD) experiment,

and the Queen’s University Experiments in Liquid Diffusion (QUELD), and experiments conducted in

the Microgravity Glovebox (MGBX) including the Forced Flow Flame Spreading Test (FFFT), and the

Candle Flames in Microgravity (CFM) experiments.

Data was recorded to support and characterize a number of events, such a firing of the Progress

vehicle’s engine to reboost Mir and docking operations of Soyuz, Progress, and Orbiter vehicles. The

data also provided insight into the accelerations resulting from two different attitudes of Mir.

This report provides an overview of the SAMS data recorded during the NASA Increment 4 over the

period from January to May 1997.

Appendix A describes the procedures that users should follow to access SAMS data over the internet

via anonymous file transfer protocol (ftp). Appendices B and C contain spectrograms of the data from

the two SAMS sensor heads. The data plots in appendices B and C are viewable from the attached CDROM. Appendix D contains a user comment sheet, which users are encouraged to complete and return

to the authors.

This entire report is also viewable from the attached CD-ROM and available on the World Wide Web

(WWW) in the portable document format (PDF). Adobe Acrobat Reader version 2.1 or higher will be

necessary to open and/or print these files.

2. Data Acquisition and Processing

As noted in previous reports [2-7], the SAMS unit on Mir is connected to two triaxial sensor heads

(TSHs). TSH A has a cutoff frequency of 100 Hz and a sampling rate of 500 samples per second. TSH

B has a cutoff frequency of 10 Hz and a sampling rate of 50 samples per second. During NASA

Increment 4, the SAMS unit was turned on periodically to record microgravity accelerations in support

of the various experiments and other significant events. SAMS data coverage for this time period is

shown in Figure 1.

Twenty-eight optical data disks were returned to Earth on STS-84, marking the completion of NASA

Increment 4 in May 1997. These data were processed by the SAMS project at LeRC and placed on a

NASA LeRC file server (beech.lerc.nasa.gov) to make them available to users. Appendix A of this

report provides instructions for accessing these data files.

3. Mir Space Station

3.1 Mir Configuration

The Mir has been in orbit since February 1986, and, in the years since, modules have been added

until the Mir reached its present configuration of six modules. The Mir currently consists of the Base

Block, the Kvant, Kvant-2, Kristall, Spektr (currently depressurized and uninhabitable), and Priroda

modules. It measures more than 32 meters in length with the docked Progress-M and the Soyuz-TM

spacecraft and is about 27 meters in width across the modules. Figure 2 shows the normal daily

activities on the Mir. Figure 3 shows a typical configuration of the Mir Space Station with a docked

NASA Orbiter during the time covered by this report.

3.2 Mir Coordinate Systems

The Mir Space Station’s basic coordinate system is that of the Base Block module coordinate system

that is shown in Figure 4. Each of the modules of the Mir station has its own coordinate system, which

is based upon its orientation with respect to the Mir base block module. The determination of the

coordinate system is made by a simple procedure. If you “stand” in any module, such that your feet are

on the floor, and you are facing towards the transitional node of the Base Block module, then the

coordinate system of that module is defined by the right hand rule, such that the direction you are facing

is +Xmodule, the direction from your feet to your head is +Ymodule, and the direction from your left to right

is +Zmodule. Figure 4 shows a graphical representation of these coordinate systems for the nominal Mir

configuration (consistent with that shown in Figure 3). Table 1 is a tabular representation of

Figure 4.

SAMS ACCELERATION MEASUREMENTS ON MIR FROM JANUARY TO MAY 1997

3.3 Mir Attitudes

The orientation attitudes of the Mir space station during the period from January to May 1997 are

not known at this time. There are references in the Mir Operations Support Team (MOST) notes [8]

which indicate that on 13 February 1997 the Mir was in an Earth-oriented attitude and on 23 February

1997 was in a solar inertial attitude. The resultant measured acceleration levels are discussed in section

8.5.

4. SAMS Triaxial Sensor Head Orientations and Locations

Table 2 shows the TSH orientations and locations for the time period of NASA Increment 4.

5. Facilities Supported

Additional information on these facilities may be obtained from [9].

5.1 Microgravity Glovebox (MGBX)

The glovebox facility is used to conduct experiments associated with combustion experiments and

hazardous operations which need to be isolated from the Mir living environment.

5.2 Microgravity Isolation Mount (MIM)

The MIM is used to isolate some experiments from the vibrations and accelerations of the Mir space

station.

6. Experiments Supported

Additional information on these experiments may be obtained from [9].

6.1 Angular Liquid Bridge (ALB)

This experiment examined how microgravity affects a fundamental fluid physics model of a fluid

equilibrium interface. This was conducted with the ALB apparatus in the MGBX facility.

6.2 Candle Flames in Microgravity (CFM)

Scientists studied combustion and flame diffusion in microgravity independent of buoyancy-induced

flow. This was conducted with the CFM apparatus in the MGBX facility.

6.3 Diffusion Controlled Apparatus Module (DCAM)

Scientists grew protein crystals in space and evaluated the dialysis and liquid/liquid diffusion

methods of crystal growth.

SAMS ACCELERATION MEASUREMENTS ON MIR FROM JANUARY TO MAY 1997

6.4 Enhanced Dynamic Load Sensors (EDLS)

Investigators measured the crew-induced disturbances with the goal of quantifying the possible

effects these disturbances may have on the spacecraft and vibration-sensitive experiments [10].

6.5 Forced Flow Flame Spreading Test (FFFT)

Scientists studied the effects of microgravity on the spread and growth of a flame using air flow

acting on the flame. This experiment was conducted with the FFFT apparatus in the MGBX facility.

6.6 Liquid Metal Diffusion (LMD)

Scientists attempted to prevent any void/bubble formation in liquid metal diffusion samples in

microgravity. This experiment was conducted with the LMD apparatus in the MIM facility.

6.7 Mir Structural Dynamics Experiment (MiSDE)

Investigators used this experiment to obtain structural dynamic response data on the Mir vehicle and

the Mir/Shuttle vehicles in a mated configuration during normal operational events such as docking,

Shuttle and Mir thruster jet firings, crew exercise, and other crew activities.

6.8 Protein Crystal Growth in Dewar (PCG/Dewar)

Investigators studied protein crystal growth in microgravity and evaluated flash-frozen and liquid/

liquid diffusion methods.

6.9 Queen’s University Experiments in Liquid Diffusion (QUELD)

This experiment collected data on diffusion coefficients in the melt of metal alloy systems devoid of

gravitational effects. This experiment was conducted with the QUELD apparatus in the MIM facility.

6.10 Technical Evaluation of MIM (TEM)

Scientists evaluated the proper functioning of MIM in terms of its ability to isolate fluid physics

experiments from accelerations and vibrations.

7. Data Analysis Techniques

SAMS data are generally presented and plotted in one of several forms for evaluation: acceleration

versus time, interval average acceleration versus time, power spectral density (PSD) versus frequency,

and spectrogram (PSD versus frequency versus time). The form used depends on what aspect of the

data is of interest. These techniques are described in detail in [11].
5

SAMS ACCELERATION MEASUREMENTS ON MIR FROM JANUARY TO MAY 1997

Acceleration versus time plots are used to display the acceleration levels recorded by the SAMS

sensor head. These data could then be used by experiment personnel to correlate experiment results with

the measured microgravity environment. This form of data display gives the most time-accurate

representation of the microgravity environment.

A plot of the interval average acceleration in units of acceleration versus time gives an indication of

net accelerations which last for a number of seconds equal to or greater than the interval parameter.

Shorter duration, high amplitude accelerations can also be detected with this type of plot. However, the

exact timing and magnitude of specific acceleration events cannot be extracted. A plot of the interval

root-mean-square acceleration in units of acceleration versus time gives an indication of the timeaveraged power in the signal due to oscillatory acceleration sources.

Power spectral density (PSD) calculations and plots are used to examine and display the frequency

content of SAMS data during relatively short periods of time (on the order of seconds to minutes).

Analysis times may be chosen based upon some specific event or experiment operation. For SAMS

data, the PSD units are g2/Hz.

Spectrograms are 3-dimensional plots, but, as presented here, the third dimension is color, so all the

data can be presented on a 2-dimensional plot. Spectrograms can be used to evaluate how the

microgravity environment varies in intensity with respect to both the time and frequency domains.

8. Microgravity Environment

Many features of the Mir microgravity environment have been described in previous reports [2-7]

and will not be described again here. These features are attitude control thrusters, crew exercise, and life

support system fans. Disturbances unique to this time period are described here.

8.1 Shuttle/Mir Docking

SAMS data was acquired during the STS-84 docking to Mir at DMT: 1997/137/06:33.

8.2 Mir Reboost by Progress Vehicle Engine

Figure 5 shows an acceleration versus time plot for the time which included the firing of the

Progress vehicle's engine to reboost the altitude of Mir on 15 April 1997 [8]. The resultant altitude boost

is seen in Figure 6 [12]. Notice that the Zh,B sensor head axis shows an offset of 2,200 μg for a duration

of 138 seconds. This offset indicates the time, intensity, and duration of the Progress vehicle's engine

firing. Applying the appropriate coordinate transformations, this disturbance is consistent with the thrust

direction when the Progress vehicle is docked at the Kvant 1 module. Vibrations of the Mir structure

resulting from the impulsive action of the thruster turning on and off may be seen in all axes whereas the

main thrust action was primarily in the -XB direction. The magnitude of this acceleration is similar to

that reported earlier [7], but is opposite in direction due to the difference in the Progress' location.
6

SAMS ACCELERATION MEASUREMENTS ON MIR FROM JANUARY TO MAY 1997

8.3 Soyuz Vehicle Docking and Undocking to Mir

Figure 7 shows a color spectrogram of SAMS data recorded during the docking of Soyuz TM-25 to

Mir at DMT 1997 043/20:13 (12 February) which brought crew members Vasili Tsibliyev and Alexander

Lazutkin to Mir. The docking occurred just before hour 3 in this plot and is apparent by the change to

the structural mode frequency trace at about 1.8 Hz at that time.

Figure 8 shows a color spectrogram of SAMS data recorded during the undocking of Soyuz TM-24

from Mir at DMT 1997 061/06:25 (2 March) which brought crew members Valery Korzun and

Alexander Kaleri to Earth. The undocking occurred shortly before hour 4.5 in this plot and is apparent

by the disappearance of the frequency trace around 7.5 Hz, the appearance of the frequency trace at 2.6

Hz, and the frequency shift in the structural mode frequency trace at about 1.9 Hz at that time.

8.4 Progress Vehicle Docking to Mir

Figure 9 shows a color spectrogram of SAMS data recorded during the docking of Progress to Mir at

DMT 1997 098/20:30 on (8 April). The docking occurred at about hour 8.5 in this plot and is apparent

by the disappearance of the frequency trace around 2.4 Hz, the appearance of the frequency trace at 2.6

Hz, and the frequency shift in the structural mode frequency trace at about 1.8 Hz at that time.

8.5 Orbital Variations in Acceleration by Attitude

As mentioned earlier, POSA notes indicate that on 13 February 1997 the Mir was in an Earthoriented attitude and on 23 February 1997 was in a solar inertial attitude. Figure 10 shows an interval

average acceleration versus time plot (interval=30 seconds) of SAMS data recorded on 13 February

1997. The Earth-oriented attitude presents a nearly constant frontal area (except for solar-oriented

photovoltaic arrays) to the atmosphere. This results in a relatively constant drag acceleration component

in the direction of flight. The atmospheric density changes and changes in the photovoltaic arrays

during one orbit produce the variable acceleration levels seen in Figure 10.

Figure 11 shows an acceleration versus time plot of SAMS data recorded on 23 February 1997. This

solar inertial attitude presents a constantly changing frontal area to the atmosphere due to the fact that it

“tumbles” once per orbit with respect to the Earth. This results in a constantly changing drag

acceleration component in the direction of flight, which itself changes constantly during each orbit. In

Figure 11 three variable axes may be seen.

9. Summary

This report presents analyses of the SAMS data recorded on the Mir Space Station from January to

May 1997. During NASA Increment 4, the SAMS supported MiSDE, BCAT, ALB, CFM, DCAM,

EDLS, FFFT, LMD, PCG/Dewar, QUELD, and TEM.

Appendix A: Accessing Acceleration Data via the Internet

SAMS data are available over the internet from the NASA LeRC file server “beech.lerc.nasa.gov”.

Previously, SAMS data were made available on CD-ROM, but distribution of data from current (and

future) missions will be primarily through this internet file server.

SAMS data files are arranged in a standard tree-like structure. Data are first separated based upon

mission. Then, data are further subdivided based upon some portion of the mission, head, year (if

applicable), day, and finally type of data file (acceleration, temperature, or gain). Effective November 1,

1996, there has been a minor reorganization of the beech.lerc.nasa.gov file server. There are now two

locations for SAMS data: a directory called SAMS-SHUTTLE and a directory called SAMS-MIR.

Under the SAMS-SHUTTLE directory, the data are segregated by mission. Under the SAMS-MIR

directory, the data are segregated by year. The following figure illustrates this structure.

axr12723.16r ayr12723.16r azr12723.16r

The SAMS data files (located at the bottom of the tree structure) are named based upon the contents

of the file. For example, a file named “axm00102.15r” would contain head A data for the x-axis for day

001, hour 02, file 1 of 5. The readme.doc files give a complete explanation of the file naming

convention.

Data access tools for different computer platforms (MS-DOS, Macintosh, SunOS, and MSWindows)are available in the /pub/UTILS directory.

A-1
SAMS ACCELERATION MEASUREMENTS ON MIR FROM JANUARY TO MAY 1997

The NASA LeRC beech file server can be accessed via anonymous File Transfer Protocol (ftp), as

follows:

 1) Open an ftp connection to “beech.lerc.nasa.gov”

 2) Login as userid “anonymous”

 3) Enter your e-mail address as the password

 4) Change directory to pub

 5) List the files and directories in the pub directory

 6) Change directories to the area of interest

 7) Change directories to the mission of interest

 8) Enable binary file transfers

 9) Use the data file structures (described above) to locate the desired files

10) Transfer the desired files

If you encounter difficulty in accessing the data using the file server, please send an electronic mail

message to “pims@lerc.nasa.gov”. Please describe the nature of the difficulty and also give a

description of the hardware and software you are using to access the file server. If you are interested in

requesting specific data analysis or information from the PIMS team, also send e-mail to

pims@lerc.nasa.gov or call the PIMS Project Manager, Duc Truong at (216) 433-8394.

Appendix B: SAMS Time Histories and Color Spectrograms TSH A

The Principal Investigator Microgravity Services (PIMS) group has further processed SAMS data to

produce the plots shown here. This appendix presents power spectral density versus frequency versus

time (spectrogram) plots of SAMS TSH A (f

c

=100 Hz) data.

Color spectrograms are used to show how the microgravity environment varies in intensity with

respect to time and frequency. These spectrograms are provided as an overview of the frequency

characteristics of the SAMS data. Each spectrogram is a composite of 6 hour’s worth of data. The time

resolution used to compute the spectrograms seen here is 16.384 seconds. This corresponds to a

frequency resolution of 0.0610 Hz.

These data were collected at 500 samples per second, and a 100 Hz lowpass filter was applied to the

data by the SAMS unit prior to digitization. Prior to plot production, the raw SAMS data were

compensated for gain changes, and then de-meaned. De-meaning was accomplished by analyzing

individual sections with a nominal length of 30 minutes. Since this de-meaning operation operates on

time periods longer than the plot’s time resolution, an artificial dc component may be seen in the

extreme lower frequency regime of these spectrograms. Since these are data processing artifacts, the

low frequency regime (f<0.05 Hz) should be ignored. Users who are interested in further details for

either of these operations are encouraged to contact the PIMS group.

Power Spectral Density versus Frequency versus Time Calculations

In order to produce the spectrogram image, Power Spectral Densities were computed for successive

time intervals (the length of the interval is equal to the time resolution). For the PSD computation, a

Hanning window was applied. In order to combine all three axes into a single plot to show an overall

level, a Vector-Magnitude (VM) operation was performed. Stated mathematically:

VMk = PSDxk

2

+PSDyk

2

+PSDz k

2

.

By imaging the base 10 logarithm (log10)magnitude as a color and stacking successive PSDs from

left to right, variations of acceleration magnitude and frequency are shown as a function of time. Colors

are assigned to discrete magnitude ranges, so that there are 64 colors assigned to the entire range of

magnitudes shown.

The colorbar limits are chosen in order to maximize the data value and visibility in a given set of

spectrogram plots. Data which fall outside of these limits will be imaged as either the highest or lowest

magnitude, depending on which side they have saturated. For this report, less than 1% of the total points

lie below the lower limit, and less than 1% of the total points lie above the upper limit. If an area of

interest seems to be saturated, care should be taken in that the actual values may lie above or below the

color mapping shown on the plot.

B-1
SAMS ACCELERATION MEASUREMENTS ON MIR FROM JANUARY TO MAY 1997

Due to the nature of spectrograms, care should be taken to not merely read a color’s numeric value

as being the acceleration magnitude that is present at a given frequency. In order to get this type of

information, the PSDs must be integrated between two frequencies. These frequencies (lower and

upper) form the band of interest. The result of this integration is the gRMS acceleration level in the

[f

lower, fupper

] band. The PIMS group is able to provide this type of analysis on a per-request basis.

Plot gaps (if any exist) are shown by either white or dark blue areas on the page. Care should be

taken to not mistake a plot gap (represented by a blue vertical band) with a quiet period. If a plot gap

exists for an entire plot (or series of successive plots), a comment is placed on the page to let the user

know there is a gap in the data. These “No data are available” comments will not show exact times for

which the data are not available, but will only indicate missing plots.

Contacting PIMS

To request additional analysis or information, users are encouraged to send an e-mail to

pims@lerc.nasa.gov, or FAX a request to (216) 433-8660.

Appendix C: SAMS Time Histories and Color Spectrograms TSH B

The Principal Investigator Microgravity Services (PIMS) group has further processed SAMS data to

produce the plots shown here. This appendix presents power spectral density versus frequency versus

time (spectrogram) plots of SAMS TSH A (f

c

=100 Hz) data.

Color spectrograms are used to show how the microgravity environment varies in intensity with

respect to time and frequency. These spectrograms are provided as an overview of the frequency

characteristics of the SAMS data. Each spectrogram is a composite of 6 hour’s worth of data. The time

resolution used to compute the spectrograms seen here is 16.384 seconds. This corresponds to a

frequency resolution of 0.0610 Hz.

These data were collected at 500 samples per second, and a 100 Hz lowpass filter was applied to the

data by the SAMS unit prior to digitization. Prior to plot production, the raw SAMS data were

compensated for gain changes, and then de-meaned. De-meaning was accomplished by analyzing

individual sections with a nominal length of 30 minutes. Since this de-meaning operation operates on

time periods longer than the plot’s time resolution, an artificial dc component may be seen in the

extreme lower frequency regime of these spectrograms. Since these are data processing artifacts, the

low frequency regime (f<0.05 Hz) should be ignored. Users who are interested in further details for

either of these operations are encouraged to contact the PIMS group.

Power Spectral Density versus Frequency versus Time Calculations

In order to produce the spectrogram image, Power Spectral Densities were computed for successive

time intervals (the length of the interval is equal to the time resolution). For the PSD computation, a

Hanning window was applied. In order to combine all three axes into a single plot to show an overall

level, a Vector-Magnitude (VM) operation was performed. Stated mathematically:

VMk = PSDxk

2

+PSDyk

2

+PSDz k

2

.

By imaging the base 10 logarithm (log10)magnitude as a color and stacking successive PSDs from

left to right, variations of acceleration magnitude and frequency are shown as a function of time. Colors

are assigned to discrete magnitude ranges, so that there are 64 colors assigned to the entire range of

magnitudes shown.

The colorbar limits are chosen in order to maximize the data value and visibility in a given set of

spectrogram plots. Data which fall outside of these limits will be imaged as either the highest or lowest

magnitude, depending on which side they have saturated. For this report, less than 1% of the total points

lie below the lower limit, and less than 1% of the total points lie above the upper limit. If an area of

interest seems to be saturated, care should be taken in that the actual values may lie above or below the

color mapping shown on the plot.

SAMS ACCELERATION MEASUREMENTS ON MIR FROM JANUARY TO MAY 1997

Due to the nature of spectrograms, care should be taken to not merely read a color’s numeric value

as being the acceleration magnitude that is present at a given frequency. In order to get this type of

information, the PSDs must be integrated between two frequencies. These frequencies (lower and

upper) form the band of interest. The result of this integration is the gRMS acceleration level in the

[f

lower, fupper

] band. The PIMS group is able to provide this type of analysis on a per-request basis.

Plot gaps (if any exist) are shown by either white or dark blue areas on the page. Care should be

taken to not mistake a plot gap (represented by a blue vertical band) with a quiet period. If a plot gap

exists for an entire plot (or series of successive plots), a comment is placed on the page to let the user

know there is a gap in the data. These “No data are available” comments will not show exact times for

which the data are not available, but will only indicate missing plots.

Contacting PIMS

To request additional analysis or information, users are encouraged to send an e-mail to

pims@lerc.nasa.gov, or FAX a request to (216) 433-8660.

During NASA Increment 4 (January to May 1997), about 5 gigabytes of acceleration data were collected by the Space

Acceleration Measurements System (SAMS) onboard the Russian Space Station, Mir. The data were recorded on 28

optical disks which were returned to Earth on STS–84. During this increment, SAMS data were collected in the Priroda

module to support the Mir Structural Dynamics Experiment (MiSDE), the Binary Colloidal Alloy Tests (BCAT), Angular

Liquid Bridge (ALB), Candle Flames in Microgravity (CFM), Diffusion Controlled Apparatus Module (DCAM),

Enhanced Dynamic Load Sensors (EDLS), Forced Flow Flame Spreading Test (FFFT), Liquid Metal Diffusion (LMD),

Protein Crystal Growth in Dewar (PCG/Dewar), Queen's University Experiments in Liquid Diffusion (QUELD), and

Technical Evaluation of MIM (TEM). This report points out some of the salient features of the microgravity environment

to which these experiments were exposed. Also documented are mission events of interest such as the docked phase of

STS–84 operations, a Progress engine burn, Soyuz vehicle docking and undocking, and Progress vehicle docking. This

report presents an overview of the SAMS acceleration measurements recorded by 10 Hz and 100 Hz sensor heads. The

analyses included herein complement those presented in previous summary reports prepared by the Principal Investigator

Microgravity Services (PIMS) group.
