Experiment BAR

Objective:

Development of a procedure to detect the signs of air leakage from ISS modules.

Tasks:

Development of methods for detecting physical signs of the ISS loss of pressure integrity.

Science Hardware Used:

BAR scientific equipment consisting of:

• Remote infrared thermometer Kelvin-video;
• Thermohygrometer Iva-6A;
• Heat-loss anemometer/thermometer TTM-2;
• Ultrasound analyzer AU-01;
• Leak detector UT2-03.

Consumables:

• BAR-RM kit.

Expeсted Results:

Obtaining background conditions determining the existence of leaks in the working compartments of the space station, which will help to increase the space flight safety.

Experiment Results:

Returned to Earth is BAR-RM kit with the record of the background characteristics database.
