Goal: The purpose of this RME is to
measure the electric field intensities from 400 to 18000 Mhz
through the shuttle window as well as the internal
environment inside the Russian Mir Space Station. Post
mission data analysis will be used to determine if EMI
mitigation techniques are necessary due to the high field
intensities.
The experiment consists of an antenna
mounted on the overhead window inside the flight deck. A
spectrum analyzer measures the signal levels and sends the
data to a Payload General Purpose Computer (PGSC) which
stores the data for post flight analysis.
