Abstract:The ISS Microgravity Integrated Performance Team has initiated a program of on-orbit testing and analysis to characterize the ISS quasi-steady and vibratory microgravity environment. A comparison of on-orbit quasi-steady data to model results from the Space Station Multi-Rigid Body simulator shows the model to be 30% conservative if baseline model inputs are used. This value improves to approximately 4% with realtime inputs, indicating that the model is a good approximation. Data for the peak magnitude of the … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
