The Space Acceleration Measurement System-II [SAMS-II] provides an acceleration measurement system serving the needs of microgravity science experiments on ISS [International Space Station]. It provides data supporting experiments that are affected by local accelerations and contributes to the characterization of the ISS environment. The system consists of a control unit(providing control, data recording, analysis and downlink), remote triaxial sensors(measuring experiment-specific locations chosen by the users), and ground operations equipment(serving as the gateway enabling investigators to command and control measurements). Operations are coordinated at the Lewis Telescience Support Center; experiment-specific operating parameters are controlled by science users. 4, record 1, English, - second%20generation%20space%20acceleration%20measurement%20system

Le «Space acceleration measurement system II» (SAMS-II) mesurera les accélérations dues aux véhicules, à l'équipage et à l'équipement. 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. 4, record 1, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20deuxi%C3%A8me%20g%C3%A9n%C3%A9ration%20de%20mesure%20d%27acc%C3%A9l%C3%A9ration%20dans%20l%27espace
