EXPERIMENTS AND SCIENTIFIC EQUIPMENT DATA<br />
INTRODUCTION<br />
This section presents the objectives of mission Z04A experiments and<br />
Contains a description of associated equipment, stowage areas (figure 5-I),<br />
crew participation requirements for data collection, and related scientific<br />
equipment data. The in-flight tests are categorized as medical (M-), scien-<br />
tific (S-), and technical (T-) experiments as follows:<br />
• In-Flight Exerciser (M-3A) (M003)<br />
• In-Flight Phonocardiogram (M-4A) (M004)<br />
• Bone Demineralization (M-6A) (M006)<br />
• Human Otolith Function (Vestibular Effects)(_Vi-9A) (M009)<br />
• Cytogenetic Blood Studies (M-II) (M011)<br />
• Cardiovascular Reflex Conditioning (M-48) (M048)<br />
• Synoptic Terrain Photography (S-bA) (S005)<br />
• Synoptic Weather Photography (S-6A) (S006)<br />
• In-Flight Nephelometer (T-3) (T003).<br />
NOT_ The planning and Management Office of the EPO<br />
(Experiments Program Office) is the coordinating facil-<br />
ity for all of the experiments described in this section.<br />
The experiments sto_.vage areas location will be found in {igure 5-i.<br />
SCIENTIFIC EQUIPMENT..<br />
MEDICAL DATA ACQUISITIO -_: SYSTEM (MDAS).<br />
The medical data acquisition system, located in compartment C<br />
(figure 5-Z), weighs 15.Z pounds and consists of a seven.channel tape<br />
recorder, associated signal conditioners, junction box, time code generator,<br />
and a front panel with switches and outlets for power and signal cables.<br />
This GFE unit uses Z8-volt d-c power from compartment A to acquire and<br />
permanently record on magnetic tape all required medical (operational and.<br />
experimental) data. The operational data.required consists of electro-<br />
cardiograph and impedance pneumograph outputs, while the experimental<br />
data consists onlyo{ phonocardiograph,outputs. These medical parameters<br />
are routed from sensors and signal conditioners (attached to a crewman)<br />
through the PGA or CWG adapter cable, cobra cable, T-adapter, and<br />
octopus cable to specified channels in the MDAS. Although I00 watts of<br />
'ectrical power is provided for the MDAS from compartment A via the<br />
:topus cable, only about 19 watts are needed to operate the integraltape<br />
