Telescience for the reduced gravity flight experiments.

Abstract

To improve the efficiency of the preliminary experiments for the JEM, the telescience capabilities have been implemented into the parabolic flight experiments on the small jet plane. In this paper, we will describe the results of the 1st telescience support experiments using the two commercial airline telephone system. In the experiments, these lines have been used not only for the voice communication, but also for the data transfer, such as FAX, still TV image transmission, and data transfer. Utilizing these capability, human physiological experiment was tested as the sample experiment. The parabolic flights were done in the two major training/testing area, that are C & K area.
