Description: Close up detail views of the Space Acceleration Measurement System Experiment set up in the mid deck showing the instrumentation and the electrical hook ups. The experiment's purpose is to determine to what extent the momentary vibrations of crew movement, equipment operation and spacecraft maneuvers act like gravitational forces on experiments. Another purpose is to measure the quasi-steady accelerations caused by the constant drag and rotation of the orbiting vehicle.
