Experiment M405: Tri-axis flux gate magnetometer

A tri-axis flux-gate magnetometer was used on four Gemini spacecraft for determination of the magnitude and direction of the local geomagnetic field with respect to the spacecraft. Conclusions derived from the data are not only important to the proton-electron spectrometer experiment, but also are of significance to any directional charged particle experiments that may be conducted. Even though the Gemini spacecraft was not clean magnetically, the data could be reduced to a form that supplied directional information on the magnetic field in relation to the spacecraft. Stray fields were the result of spacecraft structure, not the result of current flows that were produced within the spacecraft electrical systems. Efforts were made to reduce spacecraft stray fields and to facilitate the acquisition of more accurate data.

Translational Cell & Animal Research in Space 1965-2011

Translational Cell and Animal Research (TCAR). For nearly 50 years, the NASA Space Biology Program has funded, and Ames Research Center (ARC) has managed, a robust program of fundamental research including studies using a wide range of animal cells, tissues and organisms. Much of this research was conducted on spacecraft in microgravity environments including diverse platforms such as: Gemini Spacecraft, US Biosatellites, Apollo Command Modules, Skylabs, Russian Biosatellites, NASA Space Shuttles, NASA/Mir, and most recently, the International Space Station (ISS). During the Space Shuttle Era (1981–2011), the science of space biology took an enormous step forward with 45 missions that afforded researchers with new opportunities to conduct systematic and complex experiments aimed at a deeper understanding of how life adapts to the space environment. Beginning in the 1990s, the products of these experiments, comprised of research summaries and rare, unused biospecimens, were collected and catalogued within the ARC Life Sciences Data Archiving Office, a branch of NASA’s Life Sciences Data Archive (LSDA) managed from the NASA Johnson Spaceflight Center.
