MACE [Middeck Active Control Experiment] studies the effects of vibrations on moving structures in space. The results are expected to help engineers design and build lighter, stronger, space structures. The experiment platform is 60 inches (152 cm) long, including four struts and five nodes. Astronauts use a hand control unit to make gimbals and reaction wheels on one side to vibrate while gimbals and wheels on the other side try to damp the vibration. 2, record 1, English, - middeck%20active%20control%20experiment
