“…For example, during different sets of experiments of Microgravity Isolation Mount (MGIM) in the board of space station "MIR" amplitudes of oscillations differed in 20 times [1,2]. The data of microaccelerations which were measured by French microaccelerometers "BETA" on the board of uncontrolled and unmanned space laboratory "Foton-11" which are shown in figure 1 were similar [3].…”

The article presents the possibilities of using fiber-optic acceleration (FOC) sensors on products of rocket-space and aviation technology as part of information-measuring systems. A special measuring device has been developed for experimental confirmation of the main characteristics of the technical characteristics of the developed, two-coordinate fiber-optic acceleration sensors. The developed measuring setup for the experimental research of a two-coordinate fiber-optic acceleration sensor with two, cylindrical lenses fixed on two H-shaped elastic elements deflected under the influence of acceleration in two mutually perpendicular directions X and Y, intended for operation in harsh conditions of rocket and space technology. The experimental equipment consists of the developed setup for setting micromovements and an information conversion unit, including modules for signal conversion, transmission, power supply, signal amplification, and indication. Experimental dependences of the output voltage from the information conversion unit’s output on the micro-displacement in the range corresponding to the micro-displacements of the inertial mass with a cylindrical lens under acceleration in the range of ±100 m/s2 were obtained on the micro-displacement setting unit. The maximum value of the linearity error of the prototype acceleration sensor together with the information conversion unit was 0.07%. The conversion sensitivity of a two-coordinate fiber-optic acceleration sensor per the experimental dependences obtained on the Data Physics LE-612 MST/DSA 10–40 k vibration stand when exposed to sinusoidal vibration with an acceleration amplitude from 2 to 10 g in the frequency range from 5 to 2560 Hz was, on average, 3 mV/m/s2. The conducted experimental research confirms the performance of experimental samples of fiber-optic acceleration sensors together with an information conversion unit, as well as the achievement of high metrological characteristics.

“…Technological equipment was located in the protected area of these platforms. One of the first such platforms was created and tested the Microgravity Isolation Mount (Figure 3) [12]. Tests of Microgravity Isolation Mount aboard the Mir orbital complex have shown that oscillations in the protected area are significantly lower than outside the protected area during normal operation (Figure 4).…”

The paper analyzes the capabilities of an automatic rotary platform of the "Flyuger" type to reduce micro-accelerations in a protected area when it is installed on a small spacecraft of the "Aist-2" type. The micro-accelerations field of the working volume of scientific equipment of the "Growth installation" type has been modeled. The comparison with flight test data is made. The results of the work can be used in the design of small technological spacecraft.
