In a collaborative project with the Canadian Space Agency, two vibration isolation systems for zero-g environments have been developed-the Motion Isolation Mount(MIM) for orbital flights and the Large Motion Isolation Mount(LMIM) for parabolic flights. The approach taken for MIM has been to develop a mechanism having two parts : a stator attached to the structure and a payload-carrying flotor, with the only coupling between the two components being a flexible umbilical carrying signals and power to the flotor. The flotor is actively magnetically levitated by a set of wide-gap voice coil actuators. Its position relative to the stator is sensed by an optical position sensor while its absolute acceleration is sensed by an inertial accelerometer system. A digital controller uses the sensed information to compute actuator currents based on a control law that regulates acceleration and steady-state position to zero. The weak coupling between stator and flotor and the insensitivity of actuator force with position makes such a system extremely effective for vibration isolation... 2, record 1, English, - motion%20isolation%20mount

L'ESA [European Space Agency] a donné le mandat à l'ASC [Agence spatiale canadienne] d'adapter le Support d'isolation contre les vibrations en microgravité (MIM) de façon à ce qu'il puisse être utilisé avec le Laboratoire des sciences des fluides (FSL) qui sera envoyé à bord de la Station spatiale internationale (ISS) en 2004. [...] MIM est un système de lévitation magnétique à six degrés de liberté conçu pour isoler les expériences d'accélérations vibratoires (>0.01 Hz) sur la navette spatiale, Mir et l'ISS. MIM a été utilisé sur la station spatiale Mir de mai 1996 à janvier 1998. Une seconde génération de MIM, connue sous le nom de MIM-2, a volé à bord de la navette spatiale lors de la mission STS-85 en août 1997. 4, record 1, French, - support%20d%27isolation%20contre%20les%20vibrations%20en%20microgravit%C3%A9

The Stowage hardware consists of stowage racks, stowage lockers, stowage trays, Aisle Stowage Containers (ASCs), Resupply Stowage Platforms (RSPs), and soft stowage bags. Stowage racks consist of a rack structure, a stowage locker structure and stowage trays ... The locker structure transfers the launch and landing loads to the rack structure (rather than having the trays take the loads). Like the trays, the lockers have different heights and lengths. The sizes are such that a triple high, 34-inch long locker can accommodate different combinations of trays: a triple-high, 34-inch long tray; or 3 single-high, 34-inch long trays; or 1 double-high, 34-inch long tray and 1 single-high, 34-inch long tray; or 6 single-high, 17-inch long trays; etc. 2, record 5, English, - stowage%20rack
