The Gas Analyzer System for Metabolic Analysis Physiology (GASMAP) device is used to monitor and analyze inhaled and exhaled breath streams to determine their gas concentrations. The primary gases of interest are nitrogen (N²), oxygen (O²), carbon dioxide (CO²), argon (Ar), acetylene (C²H²), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), helium (He), and carbon monoxide (C18 O). The GASMAP flight hardware consists of two components: an analyzer module and a calibration module, both of which are housed in drawers inside Spacelab. The analyzer module contains all the sensor and electronic hardware of the GASMAP.
