Joosten, L.J.M. (author), Sijmonsma, R.M.M. (author), Visser, F.B. (author), Reesink, W.E. (author)Optical mass storage of digital data is attractive for use in space missions. This is the result of an ESA/ESTEC study performed by the Dutch National Aerospace Laboratory and Van der Heem Electronics (Signaal/Philips). Upgrading of commercial devices seems feasible, while ground support can be done by common equipment and software. In this way...report 1987

Visser, F.B. (author)It is expected that the number of micro-gravity research opportunities will strongly increase in the coming years. To improve the accessibility of these present and future opportunities for the users, ESA initiated activities that led to the definition of a User Support Organization (USO). This concept is described. The concept recognizes a...report 1992
