The block diagram of a radiometer with semiconductor detectors for the measurement of alpha particles is described. The discrimination is attained by introduction of a pulse amplitude selector in the narrow zone corresponding to the position of the spectral lines of the emitter. The high stability of the response is attained by use of a system for the self-stabilization of the energy characteristics [...] A pulse shape selector is used for reduction of the background level resulting from [a] noise.

The Gravitational Biology Facility comprises two racks with multiple, interchangeable specimen habitats for cells, tissue cultures, plants, insects, rodents, aquatic creatures and avian and reptilian eggs. Each habitat will provide food, water, light, air, humidity and temperature control, and resources for specimen waste management. They are equipped to transmit science and engineering data to the ground. All are built to undergo selected gravity levels - up to 2 g for those that can be attached to the Centrifuge Facility's centrifuge.
