CONT

L'accéléromètre ultrasensible ASTRE, testé en 1996 lors d'un vol de la navette spatiale américaine Columbia, a été conçu et développé pour la surveillance de cet environnement. Il mesure la résistance à l'avancement de la navette due à l'atmosphère résiduelle. Mais il est très sensible aux vibrations induites par les mécanismes et par les mouvements de l'équipage dans le laboratoire spatial.
