Acceleration Measurement Program (AMP)
Managed By: NASA
Implementation Partner: ZIN Technologies
Hardware Details
Specifications:
Space Acceleration Measurement System (SAMS):
- measure local vibratory regime in all 3 of the ISS labs, including throughout the USL ( 0.01 ≤ f ≤ 300 Hz ).
- SAMS sensor are deployed in all 3 laboratories
- Two SAMS RTS drawers (original SAMS technology, flight 6A)
- Each drawer consists of an Electronics Enclosure (EE) and connectivity for two Sensor Enclosures (SE)
- RTS drawers located in EXPRESS Rack #1 (LAB1O2) and EXPRESS Rack #4 (JEM1F5)
- ARIS Equipped EXPRESS racks are equipped with an embedded Electronics Enclosure
- EXPRESS Rack #2 (LAB1O1) and EXPRESS Rack #3 (COL1A1) are currently used by SAMS
- EXPRESS Rack #7 (LAB1P2) and EXPRESS Rack #8 (LAB1P4) are available for use by SAMS
- SAMS TSH-ES (Triaxial Sensor Head – Ethernet Standalone)
- New SAMS sensor technology dedicated to the FIR, CIR, and MSG facilities
- No Electronics Enclosure (EE) required
- SAMS Seat Track Device (STD) used for mounting SAMS SE sensors in “unplanned” locations using the rack seat track design
- Two units available currently
Microgravity Acceleration Measurement System (MAMS)
- measures the quasi-steady acceleration regime ( f < 0.01 Hz )
- data can be mapped to any location (rigid-body assumed)
