The MIM Base Unit will be the core element of a series of Canadian facilities that will be used to support microgravity research experiments on the ISS [International Space Station] in disciplines such as materials science, fluid physics, combustion science, biotechnology and fundamental physics. The MIM Base Unit will isolate the scientific payloads from relatively high vibration levels expected on the ISS. In addition, the MIM Base Unit will provide all basic interfaces between scientific payloads and the ISS EXPRESS Rack and will monitor the vibration environment experienced by such payload.

La Base MIM constituera l'élément central d'un ensemble d'installations canadiennes qui serviront à appuyer des expériences de recherche en microgravité à bord de l'ISS [International Space Station] dans des disciplines comme les sciences des matériaux et de la combustion, la physique des fluides, la biotechnologie et la physique fondamentale. La Base MIM isolera les charges utiles scientifiques des niveaux de vibration relativement élevés attendus à bord de l'ISS. De plus, elle fournira toutes les interfaces de base entre les charges utiles scientifiques et le bâti EXPRESS de l'ISS, et elle contrôlera les vibrations auxquelles ces charges utiles sont soumises.

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

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 ...

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.
