Telescience pilot experiment results using telePODI: Final report

The Prototype Optical Diagnostic Instrument (PODI) has been extended to Teleoperated PODI (TelePODI) to allow for the study of telescience and image processing for microgee related instrumentation. TelePODI has been integrated in the Telescience Test Bed, phase I, at ESTEC to simulate remote control. Telescience pilot experiments have been...

Final report on a research facility for critical point phenomena in microgravity

A conceptual design for a research facility for critical point phenomena in Spacelab's microgravity environment is presented. In the critical point facility (CPF) four experiments can be performed in parallel. The CPF consists of five parts: four experiment units and a service module. The experiment units offer the user-provided (instrumented)...
