Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

The SAMS-II [Space Acceleration Measurement System] capability 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).

OBS

remote triaxial sensor; RTS: term and abbreviation officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Stations orbitales
OBS

télécapteur triaxial de mesure de l'accélération; RTS : terme et abréviation uniformisés par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de la Station spatiale internationale (GTTSSI).

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.

OBS

second generation space acceleration measurement system; SAMS-II: term and abbreviation officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

Key term(s)
  • space acceleration measurement system II

French

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

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.

OBS

système de deuxième génération de mesure d'accélération dans l'espace; SAMS-II : terme et abréviation uniformisés par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de la Station spatiale internationale (GTTSSI).
