La mission STS-107 était dédiée à la science en microgravité. En effet, en orbite, la navette est en quelque sorte en chute permanente vers la Terre, ce qui compense en grande partie les effets du champ gravitationnel de notre planète. C'est pourquoi on parle de microgravité.  2, fiche 1, Français, - science%20en%20microgravit%C3%A9

The Microgravity Science Glovebox (MSG) is a joint development project between NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA). The double rack unit is a versatile research facility designed to permit the flexibility of crew-manipulated investigations. Its configuration has been planned around the concept of an experimental workstation where a variety of experiments can be installed and operated in a fashion very similar to their operation in a ground-based laboratory. ... Specifically, the facility provides a large enclosed work volume, power, video, photography, vacuum connections, heat rejection, stowage, filtered air, gaseous nitrogen, lighting, airlock access, physical positioning and hold-down attachments, and computer data acquisition and control capabilities.  3, fiche 2, Anglais, - microgravity%20science%20glovebox

The MSG [Microgravity Science Glovebox] is a containment facility designed for supporting a wide range of microgravity science investigations and demonstrations. In the sealed mode, the MSG serves as a single level of containment by providing a physical barrier. In the air circulation mode the MSG serves as a one failure tolerant containment by providing a physical barrier and a negative pressure relative to the cabin. The MSG further facilitates investigations by providing many of the resources that are typically used by microgravity science investigations.  4, fiche 2, Anglais, - microgravity%20science%20glovebox

La boîte à gants permettra aux astronautes à bord de la Station spatiale internationale de procéder à de nombreuses expériences dans le domaine des matériaux, de la combustion, des fluides et de la technologie et de conduire des études sur l'environnement en microgravité. Elle devrait être lancée dans le mini-module logistique pressurisé en mai 2002. Cette installation scientifique offre un volume de travail clos et étanche ;elle est équipée de branchements pour l'éclairage, les dispositifs mécaniques, l'électricité, les données, le gaz et le vide et d’une régulation thermique pour mener à bien les expériences. On accède au volume de travail par des gants intégrés qui isolent l'expérience de l'environnement et de l'opérateur. La MSG [Microgravity Science Glovebox] est montée dans un bâti de charge utile international normalisé(ISPR) ;elle peut être utilisée en mode ouvert, l'air circulant alors du volume de travail vers la cabine de la Station spatiale, ou en mode fermé, l'air ne circulant qu'à l'intérieur de la MSG. De plus, la boîte à gants est capable de maintenir une atmosphère inerte avec de l'azote sec, le volume d’oxygène restant alors égal ou inférieur à 10 %.  2, fiche 2, Français, - bo%C3%AEte%20%C3%A0%20gants

The Fluid Science Laboratory (FSL) is a multi-user research capability to study dynamic phenomena of fluid media in the absence of gravitational forces. FSL occupies one ISPR [International Standard Payload Rack]. For facility users, the most significant FSL element is the Facility Core Element that houses the central experiment module, the optical diagnostics module and the standardised Experiment Containers (ECs). ... The FSL can be operated in fully automatic or semi-automatic modes by the flight crew, or in a remote-control mode from the ground (telescience).  3, fiche 3, Anglais, - fluid%20science%20laboratory

The Material Science Laboratory (MSL) offers a multi-user capability to support scientific research in solidification physics, crystal growth with semi-conductors, measurement of thermophysical properties and the physics of liquid states. MSL occupies about half of an ISPR [International Standard Payload Rack] in the US Lab, and one ISPR in the Columbus Laboratory. The two MSL versions are identical except for minor rack interface differences. Each MSL comprises a core element consisting of a sealed process chamber in which interchangeable furnace inserts are hosted. These inserts process the samples. The sample cartridges are manually loaded into one of the furnaces. The furnace can be moved over the sample cartridge to displace the thermal gradients. Diagnostic systems provide scientific data on the facility and sample cartridge during operations. As the furnaces are modular, they can be upgraded or replaced according to utilisation needs. Additional MSL units complete the accommodation and operational interfaces to the laboratory.  4, fiche 4, Anglais, - materials%20sciences%20laboratory

The MSL will be developed in two versions: Facility 1, to be accommodated within the US Laboratory Module of the International Space Station; and Facility 2, to be accommodated on board the European Columbus Laboratory. These two facilities are very similar to each other; the main differences being that the US Laboratory version of MSL is accommodated inside the NASA Materials Science Research Rack. This rack is equipped with the Active Rack Isolation System ARIS, which provides a modicum of isolation from microgravity disturbances.  5, fiche 4, Anglais, - materials%20sciences%20laboratory
