Description:
A flight experiment that could be used to measure Space Station dynamics during and after its assembly is discussed. By integrating sensors into the structure to measure its ambient dynamic responses, it will provide some information as to how it behaves during its evolution. The objectives of the experiment are to define a series of experiments to measure the dynamic responses due to disturbances to establish the experiment scenarios, and to identify the locations of the instrumentation that can be integrated into the structure. Researchers have also defined the Space Station resources that are required so that they can be included in the Mission Requirements Data Base (MRDB). They used the 16-flight-assembly scenario that was recommended by Rockwell as the baseline.
