STS-40 Mission Specialist (MS) Jernigan uses BMMD in SLS-1 module |
| Description |
STS-40 Mission Specialist (MS) Tamara E. Jernigan weighs herself in the microgravity of space, or actually measures her mass since weight is a function of gravitational force. Jernigan sits strapped into the body mass measurement device (BMMD) which scientists have developed for determining mass on orbit. Skylab astronauts used the method in the early 1970's. As the chair swings back and forth, a timer records how much the crewmember's mass retards the movement of the chair. BMMD is located in the center aisle of the Spacelab Life Sciences 1 (SLS-1) module. The module situated in the payload bay (PLB) of Columbia, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 102, is connected to the crew compartment via the spacelab (SL) tunnel. |
