L'expérience NANOGAS (Nanocrystals Get Away Special) était une charge utile GAS destinée à la croissance de cristaux de qualité améliorée appartenant à une nouvelle catégorie de matériaux évolués appelés semi-conducteurs cristallins nanoporeux. Leur particularité réside dans leur structure atomique qui leur confère des propriétés d'adsorption uniques. Parmi les applications potentielles de cette nouvelle catégorie de matériaux, mentionnons les lasers haute précision, les ordinateurs et d'autres dispositifs électroniques hautement performants. Parrainée par le Programme des sciences en microgravité de l'ASC, l'expérience portait sur le traitement de 38 échantillons préparés par une équipe de chercheurs de l'Université de Toronto, dirigée par le professeur Geoffrey Ozin. L'expérience a volé à bord de la navette spatiale Endeavour en mai 1996. Les échantillons ont été traités dans une chambre de réaction mise au point par COM DEV Atlantic. Le fait de mener ces expériences dans un milieu qui échappe presque entièrement aux effets de la pesanteur a permis d'obtenir des cristaux nanoporeux plus gros et de meilleure qualité. En étudiant les cristaux produits en microgravité, les chercheurs espèrent un jour être capables de produire sur Terre des cristaux nanoporeux plus gros et plus purs.  2, record 11, French, - charge%20utile%20NANO%2DGAS

The Binary Colloidal Alloy Test-3 is an Exploration Systems’ transition flight experiment in the Human System Research and Technology area. BCAT-3 provides a unique opportunity to explore fundamental physics and simultaneously develop important future technology, including computers operating on light, complex biomolecular pharmaceuticals, clean sources of geothermal power, and novel rocket engines for interplanetary travel. These studies depend entirely on the microgravity environment provided by the International Space Station(ISS) ;in all other locations accessible to science, gravity dominates and precludes investigation of any other effects of interest. The experiment itself [consists of] photographing samples of colloidal particles with a digital camera onboard the ISS. Colloids are tiny nanoscale spheres of plexiglass a thousand times smaller than the width of a human hair(submicron radius) that are suspended in a fluid. They are ubiquitous(e. g., milk, smoke, and paint) and therefore interesting to study directly. Colloids are also small enough that they behave much like atoms and so can be used to model all sorts of phenomena because their size, shape, and interactions can be controlled. The 10 samples in BCAT-3 are made from the same ingredients, each a recipe with different proportions, and are grouped into three experiments : critical point, binary alloy, and surface crystallization.

BCAT-3 is comprised of three separate experiments, which are individually referred to as a binary alloy(BCAT-3-BA), surface crystallization(BCAT-3-SC) and critical point(BCAT-3-CP). The critical point investigation is continuing with additional samples on future ISS [International Space Station] expeditions and will be referred to as Binary Colloidal Alloy Test-4. BCAT-4 will consist of two sets of samples referred to as BCAT-3 and 4 : Critical Point(BCAT-3-4-CP) and BCAT-4 : Polydisperse(BCAT-4-Poly).... The Binary Colloidal Alloy Test-3(BCAT-3) hardware supported three investigations in which ISS crews photographed samples of colloidal particles(tiny nanoscale spheres suspended in liquid) to document liquid/gas phase changes, growth of binary crystals, and the formation of colloidal crystals confined to a surface. Colloids are small enough that in a microgravity environment without sedimentation and convection, they behave much as atoms and so can be used to model all sorts of phenomena because their size, shape, and interactions can be controlled. The BCAT-3 payload consists of ten small samples of colloid alloys in which the microscopic colloid particles are mixed together into a liquid. These ten samples are contained within a small case that is the size of a school textbook. At the start of an experiment run, all ten samples are shaken to completely remix the colloid samples, much in the same way that salad dressing must be shaken to remix oil and vinegar. After the samples are mixed, what remains is periodically photographed using a digital camera until the colloid and liquid components of those samples have separated or the polymers have formed crystals. The samples can be remixed to repeat the experiment. The ten samples in BCAT-3 were selected as part of three separate experiments examining different physical processes : critical point, binary alloys, and surface crystallization.  5, record 17, English, - binary%20alloy%20colloidal%20test

The facility can accommodate several types of test cells with each one dedicated to a specific experiment. Commands can be sent from the ground to inject bubbles into liquid-filled test cells and then to subject these cells to predetermined temperature differences.

Mécaniques des fluides. Les expériences sont menées à l'aide d'un appareillage baptisé BDPU (Bubble, Drop and Particle Unit, soit «Unité Bulles, Gouttes et Particules») conçu et réalisé par l'ESA. Le processus étudié est le rôle de la tension engendrée à l'interface liquide/liquide, liquide/gaz. C'est cette tension qui donne par exemple à la bulle de savon sa forme sphérique caractéristique : plus la tension de surface de la bulle est forte et uniforme, plus la bulle est sphérique et stable. Cette tension à l'interface diminue quand la température augmente. Il s'ensuit que, dans un liquide, les bulles migrent vers la partie la plus chaude du liquide, ce phénomène porte le nom de migration thermocapillaire. Sur Terre, l'effet de cette tension interraciale est souvent masqué par la gravité. On a étudié entre autres comment les bulles et les gouttes réagissent dans un liquide soumis à des variations de température et de concentration, à la solidification ou l'évaporation.  2, record 27, French, - dispositif%20gouttes%2C%20bulles%20et%20particules

The Clinostat has been used by biologists for over a hundred years to study how organisms might adapt to the microgravity environment and what effects the force of gravity has on plant and animal development and behavior. The clinostat is a simple device which places a plant, a small organism, or cell growing in culture on a rotating platform. The rotation causes the biosystem under test to be subjected to the gravity vector from "all" directions. From the system's point of view, the rotation cancels the gravity vector by continuous averaging thus approximating the highly reduced vector found in the actual space environment.  3, record 28, English, - clinostat

Alternatively, the containers can be left undivided, which yields a single 110 ml volume that supports up to 200 Drosophila.... The two insect containers reside in the science element portion of the IH. The science element consists of two environmentally controlled "drawers.

Three accelerometer assemblies are also mounted on the FCE, housing three accelerometers each. This allows determination of both the linear accelerations and the rotational acceleration of the FCE, and allows for up to three levels of redundancy. There are four Light Emitting Diodes(LEDs) mounted on the FCE with collimated beams directed at four two dimensional Position Sensing Devices(PSDs) mounted on the ISPR.

The calculations for the ISS [International Space Station] quasi-steady acceleration environment can be compared to a set of formal design requirements which state that 50 percent of the ISPR [International Standard Payload Rack] locations within the U. S. Lab, Columbus and the JEM must have quasi-steady accelerations below 1 ug for periods of 30 continuous days a total of 6 times per year. The operation of the Station in Microgravity Mode is designed to produce these 30 day intervals. The quasi-steady acceleration vector has an additional directional stability requirement stating that the component perpendicular to the vector's orbital average must be less than or equal to 0. 2 [mu] g. To meet this requirement the Station's attitude must be controlled during orbit so that it maintains a constant position relative to the LVLH [Local Vertical/Local Horizontal] axes.  2, record 43, English, - quasi%2Dsteady%20acceleration%20environment

Record number: 43, Textual support number: 2 CONT

The quasi-steady state acceleration level is determined primarily by the combined effects of atmospheric drag(due to the finite residual Earth's atmosphere at the orbital altitude of the ISS), and gravity gradient stabilisation of the ISS. Gravity gradient stabilisation uses the principle that a body in orbit around the Earth will tend to rotate about it's centre of mass, as each part of the body will tend to follow it's own orbit. It will normally oscillate about a mean orientation, but will eventually remain in a stable orientation with respect to the Earth. The normal orientation for the ISS is the Torque Equilibrium Attitude discussed earlier. The resultant combination of atmospheric drag, gravity gradient and other secondary effects produce a set of gravity contours(i. e., locations of equal gravity level) which define the quasi-steady state microgravity environment of the ISS.  3, record 43, English, - quasi%2Dsteady%20acceleration%20environment
