The paper discusses the process of integrating scientific equipment into the Russian Segment of the International Space Station (ISS RS) to conduct space experiment using the ISS IS information and control system. The paper addresses the stages in ground processing of scientific equipment that are critical for its successful operation after delivery to the ISS RS: tests on the hardware (vibration and hydraulic tests, electromagnetic compatibility tests, incoming inspection), development of the software for the equipment using ground debugging facility and conducting integrated tests in the checkout facility. It points out the need to update the existing stages of ground preparations for experiments to reduce the hardware ground processing time. Taking as examples the space experiment Terminator and experiments conducted using cargo transportation spacecraft Progress, the paper resents results obtained through the use of the described approach. Key words: information and control system, scientific equipment, space experiment, International Space Station, logistics spacecraft Progress, microgravity.

The goals and objectives of space experiment Control to study parameters of the induced external atmosphere of the Russian Segment of the International Space Station are presented. The processing and analysis procedure for telemetry data obtained using scientific equipment Indicator - ISS is described. Numerical calculations were performed by direct statistical modeling of the flow around the pressure sensor by incoming flotation the Earth's outer atmosphere in the background measurement conditions, as well as in disturbed conditions with two vernier engines of the Zvezda module being operated. A correction function of the pressure sensor is obtained depending on the orientation, temperature factor and selected model of interaction of incident flow molecules with the internal and external device surfaces. The results of numerical modeling of the jet discharges of the the Zvezda vernier engine were compared with the data obtained in full-scale pressure measurements in experiment Control. Key words: pressure sensor, orbital station, induced external atmosphere, direct statistical modeling method.

The study introduces a method for determining the characteristics of long-period oscillations of the International Space Station structure by analyzing the displacement of the sighting axis of scientific equipment relative to the calculated position when observing the Earth’s surface from the Russian segment. The technique makes it possible to identify long-term oscillations through noise caused by high-frequency oscillations and measurement errors, as well as long-term trends associated with a change in the orientation of the station. The work was carried out as part of the first stage of the Pelican space experi-ment to develop the technology of wireless energy transmission in space. After processing the measurement results performed in the experiment sessions, it was possible to determine the maximum values of the amplitudes and angular velocities of the displacement of the sighting axis in order to clarify the requirements for the guidance system of scientific equipment used in the subsequent stages of the experiment.

The Impact

Since 2007, a series of experiments on the production and use of product with high probiotic potential is being performed on the board of the ISS in order to weaken the impact of mutagenic factors on the human body. The first research objective was to develop the technology of the microorganism emulsive cultivation under weightless conditions on the board of the ISS. The second research objective was to obtain products of microbiological origin good for maintaining the required composition of human endo-microflora. Crews of the ISS-49 through ISS-63 were involved in the research in the framework of the “Probiovit” space experiment. The paper analyzes and summarizes obtained experimental results.

Successful Recovery

Improving safety of space station operations at the time when the near-Earth space is getting increasingly littered with space junk is one of the principal problems in space station design. Along with the measures to reduce the risk of the station pressure shell penetration resulting from a collision with a meteoroid or a piece of space debris that involve protection of the module pressure shells with shields, there is also a need for developing measures and equipment aimed at mitigating catastrophic consequences of the penetration. One of the key factors allowing successful recovery from an emergency situation caused by station depressurization in case of a puncture is the time needed to locate the puncture, which determines possible scenarios for crew actions during recovery operations and their result. The Immediate Puncture Localization System (IPLS) presented in this paper provides reliable and virtually immediate detection of the time and location of the penetration. The proposed concept for the IPLS architecture is based on the use of piezoelectric sensors of acoustic emissions distributed over the inner surface of the pressurized shell of the module that are connected to an electronic unit for processing signals from the sensors. The paper presents the results of studies of the scientific and engineering feasibility of the IPLS operating principles conducted at RSC Energia and TsNIIMash, as well as results of developmental tests on a prototype of such a system in the Service Module of the International Space Station (ISS) in the space experiment Otklik conducted under the Applied Research Program of the ISS Russian Segment. Key words: International space station, ISS Russian Segment, meteoroid, space debris, pressure shell, immediate puncture localization system, piezoelectric sensor, space experiment, high-velocity impact, penetration.

The scientific equipment «Plasmakrystall–4» («PK–4») is designed to study complex (dusty) plasma under microgravity conditions aboard the International Space Station (ISS) and is a joint project of the European Space Agency (ESA) and Roscosmos. Scientific equipment «PK–4» is integrated into «European physiological modules» (EPM) rack, in the European laboratory module Columbus. Experiment control — automated, software-interactive, or manual from an on-board laptop and/or from a terminal in the ground control center. A low-pressure direct current discharge in noble gases in a glass tube is used to create a plasma at scientific equipment «PK–4». Microparticles of a given size are injected into the discharge to obtain a complex plasma. Two digital video cameras allow to trace individual microparticles inside the tube in phase space, which makes a complex plasma to be a good model for studying classical phenomena in condensed matter at the kinetic level. To monitor the plasma conditions, an integrated spectrometer and another video camera are used allowing to observe the plasma's own emission at different wavelengths. To study the reaction of microparticles to external forces, they can be exposed to radiation from a powerful laser, a gas stream, and also to thermophoretic force, i.e., by producing a given temperature gradient. Key words: complex plasmas, microparticles, soft matter, laser manipulation, microgravity, viscosity measurements, gas discharges, plasma diagnostics.
