The Microgravity Science Glovebox(MSG) is a joint development project between NASA and the European Space Agency(ESA). The double rack unit is a versatile research facility designed to permit the flexibility of crew-manipulated investigations. Its configuration has been planned around the concept of an experimental workstation where a variety of experiments can be installed and operated in a fashion very similar to their operation in a ground-based laboratory.... Specifically, the facility provides a large enclosed work volume, power, video, photography, vacuum connections, heat rejection, stowage, filtered air, gaseous nitrogen, lighting, airlock access, physical positioning and hold-down attachments, and computer data acquisition and control capabilities. 3, record 3, English, - microgravity%20science%20glovebox

The MSG [Microgravity Science Glovebox] is a containment facility designed for supporting a wide range of microgravity science investigations and demonstrations. In the sealed mode, the MSG serves as a single level of containment by providing a physical barrier. In the air circulation mode the MSG serves as a one failure tolerant containment by providing a physical barrier and a negative pressure relative to the cabin. The MSG further facilitates investigations by providing many of the resources that are typically used by microgravity science investigations. 4, record 3, English, - microgravity%20science%20glovebox

La boîte à gants permettra aux astronautes à bord de la Station spatiale internationale de procéder à de nombreuses expériences dans le domaine des matériaux, de la combustion, des fluides et de la technologie et de conduire des études sur l'environnement en microgravité. Elle devrait être lancée dans le mini-module logistique pressurisé en mai 2002. Cette installation scientifique offre un volume de travail clos et étanche ; elle est équipée de branchements pour l'éclairage, les dispositifs mécaniques, l'électricité, les données, le gaz et le vide et d'une régulation thermique pour mener à bien les expériences. On accède au volume de travail par des gants intégrés qui isolent l'expérience de l'environnement et de l'opérateur. La MSG [Microgravity Science Glovebox] est montée dans un bâti de charge utile international normalisé (ISPR) ; elle peut être utilisée en mode ouvert, l'air circulant alors du volume de travail vers la cabine de la Station spatiale, ou en mode fermé, l'air ne circulant qu'à l'intérieur de la MSG. De plus, la boîte à gants est capable de maintenir une atmosphère inerte avec de l'azote sec, le volume d'oxygène restant alors égal ou inférieur à 10 %. 2, record 3, French, - bo%C3%AEte%20%C3%A0%20gants

A quantitative development, in which essentially all reactive radicals generated in a particular system are intercepted, has been referred to as spin counting. Spin trapping has also been adapted to the interception of radicals generated in both gaseous and solid phases. In these cases the spin adduct is in practice transferred to a liquid solution for observation in order to facilitate the interpretation of the esr spectra of the radicals obtained. 1, record 4, English, - spin%20counting

On désigne par numération de spin (ou comptage de spin) le processus de capture de spin lorsqu'il est quantitatif, c'est-à-dire quand le réactif diamagnétique capte quasiment tous les radicaux formés dans un système donné. La capture de spin a aussi été adaptée aux phases solides et gazeuses pour piéger les radicaux formés. On réalise alors un transfert de l'adduit du spin dans une solution liquide afin de faciliter l'interprétation du spectre de RPE des radicaux obtenus. 1, record 4, French, - comptage%20de%20spin

Long Path Atmospheric Monitors. The use of laser sources over a long path to detect absorption from gaseous pollutants has been in the development stage for several years. These systems presently can detect average concentrations of pollutants such as ozone at the ppb level. Disadvantages with the system are that these systems must have an eyesafe path of several hundred meters or more and must have either a remote detector or retroreflector to return the beam. 1, record 5, English, - long%20path%20atmospheric%20monitor
