Collection consists of the following types of documentation relating to SAMS: test plans and reports; drawings; maintenance logs; and memoranda and correspondence. This collection also contains optical discs from the SAMS/MIR project, which contain the raw data.
The Space Acceleration Measurement Unit System (SAMS) is an acceleration measurement and data acquisistion instrument, not a classical microgravity research experiment. SAMS consists of a main unit and up to three remotely positioned triaxial sensor heads. The data are used to provide investigators with a time history of this environment to improve for future experiment design. This instrument was flown on the Space Shuttle and Mir Space Station, from 1994 to 1998.
