  3. Capabilities and Services • NASA GRC - continued goal of providing timely and readily accessible acceleration data, along with archival and analysis services for scientific payloads, structural dynamics monitoring, and technology developers. • SAMS - the Space Acceleration Measurement System: • has ability to instrument and measure local vibratory regime in all 3 of the ISS labs, including throughout the USL ( 0.01  f  300 Hz ). • given approval for upgrading the control unit, which provides a more robust, long-term solution for continued life-cycle support of the ISS. • MAMS - the Microgravity Acceleration Measurement System: • measures the quasi-steady acceleration regime ( f < 0.01 Hz ). • data can be mapped to any location (rigid-body assumed). • PIMS - the Principal Investigator Microgravity Services team maintains the acceleration data from the ISS and provides analysis and related services for investigators, sustaining engineering, and the microgravity community at-large.

  4. Capabilities and Services process & analyze 24x7 NASA SAMS & MAMS stream acceleration data from the ISS to NASA GRC • Web access to: near real-time displays, acceleration archives, and tailored off-line requests • http://pims.grc.nasa.gov • pimsops@grc.nasa.gov • >10TB Accel. Archive

  7. Three Aspects to Consider • Spatial • Where is your location of interest (module/rack)? • High-frequency vibrations tend to be localized, so request SAMS sensor as close as possible to your location. • Low-frequency vibrations tend to be global. MAMS data can be mathematically mapped to your location. • Temporal • When do you expect to operate? • Relative quiet below ~6 Hz during crew sleep. • Some investigators leverage crew sleep for sensitive periods. • You “batten down the hatches” during reboostperhaps. • Spectral • Any resonances or sensitivities? • Fruit fly investigation has sensitivity between ~140-200 Hz. • Marangoni liquid bridge experiment sensitive ~0.25 Hz.

  8. Scheduling and Hardware Availability • Spatial • There are cable length, and sensor mounting considerations here. • Low-frequency vibrations tend to be global, so MAMS has you covered. • Temporal • SAMS and MAMS have a primary goal to operate continuously. • Kevin McPherson for SAMS sensor availability (SE-F02 is an APH candidate with other possible near-term/future requests for support from PaRIS & ESA). • Spectral • MAMS does not change its operating parameters. • For SAMS, it is best to request cut-off frequency that is low, yet above your highest frequency of interest or concern. Given enough advanced notice (about a day), SAMS sensors can be ground-commanded to a cut-off frequency in this set: 25, 50, 100, 200, or 400 Hz. If in doubt, then choose higher cut-off rather than lower, but be aware that there are some analysis trade-offs that favor lower-frequency cut-offs (i.e. sample rates). Usually, once cut-off is decided, we leave it at that value.

  9. Data Analysis • Real-Time • PIMS web-site for near real-time auto-updating plots. • Off-Line • PIMS server for complete access to SAMS and MAMS data with 2-day lag from measurement time. You can self-serve for the processing and analysis you need at your site. • You can request tailored analysis from PIMS team. • “Roadmaps” • PIMS team publishes (via web) a standard set of analysis products to give an overview of the ISS microgravity environment. • For vibratory regime (SAMS) these are 8-hour spectrograms (magnitude versus frequency versus time). • For quasi-steady regime (MAMS) these are 8-hour, per-axis acceleration versus time plots.
