Brief Summary

The Transport Environment Monitor (TEM) investigation monitors temperatures inside cargo vehicles bound for the International Space Station. Environmental conditions during transportation are very important for biological specimens and reagents for life-science experiments. This investigation uses temperature data loggers to record the environmental conditions near investigations launched on cargo vehicles.

    Experiment Description

    Research Overview

    The proposed research seeks to take the temperature data aboard the space vehicle other than Space Shuttle by temperature data loggers. Environmental condition during transportation is very important for biological specimen or reagents for life-science experiments. Therefore, the actual environment data in ATV (or CRS and COTS is necessary for the experiment operation planning after 2011. We plan to environment monitoring of HTV1 in 2009. We will use similar packages for ATV2.
