DIDO Experiment Container is essentially a box with a side length of 150 mm. Design philosophy of DIDO experiment foreseen an "all inside" approach, so(at this moment) the experiment container is a mere box with no windows or openings, or relevant external features. DIDO EC is intended as a structural part for the inside experiment; only mechanical, electrical and data interfaces are required to connect DIDO EC with GLAD facility. The box is assembled as one piece but the topside is removable to have access to DIDO experiment. In this way the topside component works as a cover plate. The EC is made by(TBD) material and to meet safety requirements EC' s corners are slightly rounded, materials must not be flammable and machined with non-toxic surface treatment. Cover plate is connected with the box through screws. The bottom side, instead, compose the "first plate" of DIDO experiment, housing tanks and pumping system. Another plate placed about half height provides a "second plate" for DIDO cell and relative optics, laser unit and CCD camera.

OBS

Objectives of the experiment DIDO ... is the measurement of diffusion coefficients in a three-component solution. It’s impossible to carry out these measurements on Earth because in a diffusion boundary, when the transport is promoted by at least two independent driving forces, convention instabilities may arise, called "fingers" and "overstability."

OBS

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

Subject field(s)
  • Containers
  • Air Freight
CONT

Contouring the hitherto square AVE container can produce an extra 40 per cent capacity, but this entails sacrifice of compatibility with the L-1011 TriStar fleet. To get over this problem, British Airways is experimenting with an expandable container, officially designated AVD, which can fit the L-1011 and which can be reconfigured in less than half a minute. Twenty such "concertina" containers went into experimental service in May of this year....

CONT

Le remodelage des conteneurs AVE peut procurer un gain de capacité de 40 %, mais il sacrifie la compatibilité avec les soutes du L-1011 TriStar. Pour y remédier, British Airways expérimente en ce moment un nouveau conteneur "extensible" officiellement désigné AVD, qui est adapté au L-1011 et dont on peut changer la forme en moins de 30 secondes. Une vingtaine de ces conteneurs "accordéons" ont été mis en service il y a quelques mois à titre expérimental (...)
