Extractions: MIR - Microgravity Interdisciplinary Research at V2_ Presentation / performance / seminar The physical properties of zero gravity initially appear obvious, but the effect on the mind and body - on movement and physiology - as well as upon materials is a very recent area of research. The physical properties inherent within zero gravity rarely form part of our conscious perception. Much of our physical system is adjusted to and indeed 'designed' by the gravitational forces that work on our body. Even though we are not particularly aware of how gravity affects our physical system, these forces have a great impact on both body and mind. The ability to remove the effects of gravity as a variable in human physiological research has only been available to scientists since the start of the space race. The only practical means with which to alter gravity in relation to the human body are through centrifuges (increasing gravity), off-planet space travel or orbit, free-fall, scuba diving and underwater sojourn, parabolic flight or through its simulation with virtual reality. Until today research in this field has also mainly been conducted by scientists. V2_ approaches outer space with its unique conditions such as the variations in the force of gravity now for the first time from an artistic and cultural point of view.

On board the modified Airbus A-300 aircraft will be a suite of 10 microgravity experiments provided by European scientists in cooperation with scientists from Canada and the United States. The emphasis of ESA's 48th Parabolic Flight Campaign is on the study of heat transfer. This is a key scientific problem which is the subject of extensive research. ESA sponsors several projects in this field that are run by consortia of European institutes and laboratories where these parabolic flight experiments are developed. The ultimate aim of this research is to improve the efficiency of many systems relying on heat transfer, spanning from the generation of energy, through to high power electronics. In the general context of rising energy costs and global warming, this research is clearly of high importance.

A wearable computer for use in microgravity space and other nondesktop environments. Companion of the CHI 96 Conference on Human Factors in Computing
http://edgarmatias.com/papers/chi96/

Extractions: buxton @ dgp.toronto.edu We present one possible design for a "wearable" computera computer that is worn. Our prototype permits text entry without the need of a table or other supporting surface. Typing can be performed while standing or even walking. Possible applications for this device are also discussed. Input devices, input tasks, wearable computers, portable computers, Half-QWERTY, one-handed keyboard, skill transfer. The tremendous and increasing popularity of notebook computers over the past several years has encouraged manufacturers to push the envelope ever further. This has led to the development of palmtops and PDAs, devices small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. In an interesting spin-off, the technologies which make these devices possible are being used to push portability even further, creating a new breed of computer known as a "wearable." While not yet common, their eventual success relies on finding niche applications to pave the way for more general use. In this paper we present one possible design for a wearable, and explore a few possible niches.

However, the physiological affects of weightlessness are still not completely understood. Among these are the leaching of certain minerals from bones; atrophy of muscles when not exercised; and space adaptation syndrome, a form of motion sickness found only in spaceflight. All the deleterious effects of living in microgravity disappear after an astronaut returns to ground. Some can be countered while in orbit by special diet and exercises. But even a vigorous exercise program does not appear to stop bone loss, or the decrease in the rate of normal bone formation. NASA is engaged in a long-term program to understand the causes underlying these changes, in order to develop ways to prevent them. This will be particularly important for the longer tours of duty on the Space Station, where crew members will be in orbit for three months or more at a time. back to the top *Click on images for captions

I've promised a couple posts that have been on the back burner. One is on regolith, a complex topic that needs more exposure, but unfortunately one of the main resources I was going to use, NASA's 'Lunar e-Library' uses some kind of proprietary Acrobat interface for searching the pdfs that keeps freezing up my computer, making progress frustrating and slow (and easy to put aside as other priorities come along). I was however impressed with the appendix in "The Moon" which dealt with regolith simulants, and how the different types are useful for specific kinds of research. One thing I did note in an old engineering study from the '80s was a blithe dismissal of iron in regolith, and its potential contribution to mitigation strategies. Then you look at the number of studies that source from the original one, and it's easy to see how misinformation can spread. I say misinformation because thanks to the work of Dr. Taylor

http://www.space.gc.ca/asc/eng/missions/sts-085/mim.asp

Extractions: Index A to Z You are here: home missions sts-085 MIM: A Unique Canadian Space Technology Experience has shown that spacecraft, such as the Russian Mir space station and the US Space Shuttle, do not provide the high-quality microgravity environment required for many science experiments. There are numerous causes for this deviation from the ideal "free-fall" environment such as the operation of on-board equipment (pumps, fans, thrusters, etc.), the movement of astronauts within the spacecraft, and variations in orbital characteristics such as atmospheric drag. While these disturbances are usually small and are most often not even felt by the astronauts, they can nonetheless have undesirable effects on space-based experiments. This is particularly significant for a large class of materials science experiments that involve fluid or vapour phases. The Microgravity Isolation Mount (MIM) is a unique Canadian development that improves the microgravity environment for experimenters who use spacecraft such as Mir or the Space Shuttle. The MIM uses the principle of magnetic levitation to isolate experiments from the vibrations of the spacecraft. The MIM consists of three major components: a stator fixed to the spacecraft, a flotor which floats without contact relative to the fixed stator and a control unit which houses the brains of the system. Experiments are mounted on the MIM flotor and are controlled by the MIM control unit.

The panel of experts and their topics will include Gerard Faeth, Ph.D., professor, University of Michigan, on combustion; Nicholas Bigelow, Ph.D., professor, University of Rochester, on micro-measurement (atomic clock); Chiaki Mukai, M.D., astronaut and cardiovascular surgeon, on living and working in space; and Bernard Harris, M.D., astronaut and surgeon, will speak on what it takes to fly. The event will also include demonstrations and taped segments with opinions from communities in various Pan Pacific nations.
Pool Boiling Experiment In Microgravity
Pool boiling experiments using R113 were conducted in the microgravity of space on a flat heater, consisting of a semi-transparent gold film sputtered on
http://www-personal.umich.edu/~merte/vgrl/pbe.html

Extractions: Two heater surfaces are placed on a single flat substrate, installed so as to form one wall of the test vessel as shown in Figure 1, with one acting as a back-up. Each heater consists of a 400 thick semi-transparent gold film sputtered on a highly polished quartz substrate, seen in Figure 2, and serves simultaneously as a heater, with an uncertainty of 2 % in the measurement of the heat flux, and a resistance thermometer, with an overall uncertainty of 1.0 C. The heater is rectangular in shape, 19.05 x 38.1 mm (0.75 x 1.5 inch). Degassed commercial grade R-113 (trichlorotrifluoroethane, ) was used because of its low normal boiling point (47.6 C), which minimized problems associated with heat loss to the surroundings, and because of its electrical nonconductivity, which is compatible for direct contact with the thin gold film heater. Further experimental details may be found in Merte et al. (1995). It appears that long term steady state nucleate boiling can take place on a flat heater surface in microgravity with a wetting liquid under conditions in which a large vapor bubble somewhat removed from the heater surface is formed, which acts as a reservoir to remove the bubbles from immediate vicinity of the heater surface. The steady nucleate boiling heat transfer is significantly enhanced in microgravity compared to that in earth gravity.

http://funphysics.jpl.nasa.gov/adventures/microgravity.html

Extractions: FLOATING OUR EXPERIMENTS IN SPACE We've all heard the idea that, in a vacuum, feathers and cannonballs fall at the same rate. It's pretty hard to test theories like that here on Earth, where a whole lot of outside influences can affect our results. Call it shake, rattle and rollwithout perfect conditions, we can't be very precise or very sure. We're lucky, though, because the coming of the space age has opened up opportunities we've never had before. Space is perhaps one of the best laboratories of all. It's vast, quiet, and relatively free from disturbances. We can check out how things come together in such an untroubled environmentcrystals, metals, clouds of atoms and more. We can learn how liquids flow, fires burn, and life adapts. By placing our experiments in freefall around the Earth, we can even remove most of the effect that gravity can have. That's what we mean by "microgravity." Curious how it all works outside of the context we know so well on Earth? Come see what we know, what we predict, and what we hope to learn through our experiments in space.
