The Research Animal Holding Facility(RAHF) is a general use, contained animal habitat within the STS [Shuttle Transport System] Spacelab capable of holding up to 24 adult rats(350 gm) in pairs or four adult squirrel monkeys(1 kg) within separate cages. The monkey and rat versions of the RAHF differ only in the design of the cage module to accommodate different animal sizes; otherwise all subsystems are identical.

Biolab is a single-rack multi-user facility that will support biological research on small plants, small invertebrates, microorganisms, animal cells, and tissue cultures. It will include an incubator equipped with centrifuges in which the preceding experimental subjects can be subjected to controlled levels of accelerations. Containers can be handled automatically by the Biolab Handling Mechanism. Independent analysis instruments are available for supporting experiment sample test analyses. A capability for the visualisation of images is at hand. The atmospheric environment of the Experiment Container may be adjusted during centrifuge operations. Automatic temperature-controlled and ambient temperature stowage units are available for storing Experiment Container samples. A Biolab glovebox provides a clean, controlled and enclosed environment for manual operations on Experiment Container samples. The glovebox, working under negative pressure, pre-empts any possible contamination to the laboratory atmosphere.

OBS

Biolab: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

Domaine(s)
  • Travaux de recherche dans l'espace
CONT

Une autre nouveauté de la mission est la présence à bord d'animaux vivants [...] à titre expérimental. L'objectif est d'évaluer la «ménagerie spatiale» mise au point par le Centre de recherches Ames de la NASA, une structure qui permet de garder diverses espèces d'animaux en cage dans de bonnes conditions de confort, de nutrition et de propreté et qui est en même temps dotée des installations d'essais indispensables.
