Time since activation of
MAMS on ISS

The Microgravity Acceleration Measurement System (MAMS) will record the quasi-steady microgravity environment (f < 0.01 Hz), including the influences of aerodynamic drag, vehicle rotation, and venting effects on the International Space Station. The MAMS unit will be located in the United States
Laboratory Module in a double middeck locker enclosure. PIMS will utilize MAMS for its ability to sense the quasi-steady regime. The MAMS Miniature Electrostatic Accelerometer (MESA) sensor is a flight spare from the
Orbital Acceleration Research Experiment (OARE) program that was used to characterize the quasi-steady acceleration environment of the Space Shuttle Columbia. Like the OARE data recorded during eleven STS missions, utilizing rigid body assumptions at these low frequencies will allow MAMS MESA data to be mapped to alternate locations within the ISS using ISS body rates and body angles data.
