To complement the SAMS-II measurements, the Microgravity Acceleration Measurement System (MAMS) will record accelerations caused by the aerodynamic drag created as the Space Station moves through space. It also will measure accelerations created as the vehicle rotates and vents water. These small, quasi-steady accelerations occur in the frequency range below 1 Hertz.

En complément du SAMS-II, le «Microgravity Acceleration Measurement System» (MAMS) enregistrera les accélérations causées par le déplacement de l'ISS [International Space Station] sur son orbite. Il mesura également les accélérations créées par les rotations du véhicule et les évacuations d'eau. Ces accélérations quasi imperceptibles se produisent à une portée de fréquences au-dessous d'un Hertz.
