Reconsideration of Body Mass Measurement on the International Space Station and Beyond

Abstract:

In the current space program, astronaut body mass onboard spacecraft, including the International Space Station (ISS) is measured with spring-mass device. We propose a new device “Space Scale” with laser interferometry acceleration measurement and an inline force sensor with a bungee cord. This paper describes concept of Space Scale and its accuracy estimation by ground model test. Accuracy obtained in this ground test was –0.293 %, of which force sensor contributed most to error.
