e-Nose and Nose Target Book
e-Nose and Nose Target Book
Astronauts can measure the microbial contamination at different points inside the ISS using the e-Nose. In addition, a so-called Nose Target Book was installed on the space station, containing samples of different materials, such as aluminium, the polymer Nomex, circuit board material and cable markings. Biological cultures will settle on these materials and can be measured by the ISS crew every two months to monitor their growth.
