Research abstract
Not Available The Experiment Support Facility will provide a common set of laboratory services, including signal conditioning, data storage, real time digital signal processing, and communications to Air Force Station Payloads. The ESF could be connected to a wide array of test articles representing a multitude of disciplines, including structures, robotics, fluids, and human factor experiments. In addition, when connected to an experiment the ESF would monitor the data as it is obtained, communicate with the ground and even alter the experiment parameters, basing its decisions on a series if parameters entered into it by the principal investigators. In a sense, the ESF will allow the PI to place some of his or her knowledge on orbit, leading to a much more efficient use of crew time and other station resources. Crew time, both on-orbit and training time on the ground, is quickly developing as the scarcest resource in crew flight activities. This has become true on the Space Shuttle, especially with regards to secondary payloads, and will be true on the Space Station. The ESF is based on the successful MACE Experiment Support Module, which is being reflown on the Shuttle by the AFRL in 1999.
