The Space Microacceleration Measurement Program SINUS

摘要

The paper deals with the results of developing facilities and methods used aboard spacecrafts to provide the required microgravity conditions for manufacturing and research work under weightlessness conditions. The prospects for employing various spacecrafts for performing different operations under microgravity conditions are discussed. SINUS, the program that specifies the main lines in developing and refining microgravity technologies, is considered.
