Abstract

pRECEDING PAGE BLANK NOT FIL1MThis second volume of the Final Report presents the results of an intensive survey of commercial instrumentation applicable to the Space Station.The Blue Book* was used to determine types of instruments needed for support of the laboratories and experiment program.Twenty-four instrument categories were selected to provide a representative, not necessarily complete, selection of types of instruments needed.The report on each category of instruments is written in approximately the same format: principles of operation, appli cations, logistics, operation, interface, safety, modifications needed, and available instruments.The survey was written on the basis of actual instruments available at the time of writing (mid-1970).Instruments under development and trends in instrument development are noted where applicable.The final section in this volume deals with the problems of sample handling in a zero-g laboratory, and a few sample-handling devices appropriate for Space Station application.Candidate Experiment Program for Manned Space Stations, "The Blue Book".iii SECTION 1 1.
