2. Page No. 2 ESA Long Duration Mission (LDM) Payloads l The ESA Long Duration Mission (LDM) payloads are a suite of payloads that ESA is flying under Russian contract. ‒ All LDM payloads will be launched on Russian Vehicles ‒ Some LDM payloads require NASA interaction and support. Details of this support are defined in the LDM MOA (addressed below) ‒ There is the potential of an ESA LDM payload being returned via Shuttle and/or using Cold Stowage resources in the US Lab. This would go out on CEF for community review and comment. l The ESA LDM Memorandum of Agreement has been signed and is posted at xxxxxxxxxxxxx. The signed LDM MOA is limited to addressing the following ESA-submitted CEF’s: ‒ CEF 756 --Accelerate PFS Upgrade for HRF Rack 2 from Increment 13 to Increment 12 ‒ CEF 757 --Request Use of HRF for CARD Experiment during Increment 12 ‒ CEF 765 --Use of NetMeeting to perform an E-LEARNING session in the LDM ‒ CEF 766 --Use of US Lab Hand Rails at different location to position ALTEA Helmet to carry out ALTEA Shield ESA experiment during LDM ‒ CEF 767 --Downlink Data as part of the ALTCRISS experiment ‒ CEF 768 --Downlinked digital video during LDM as part of the OIL EMULSION experiment ‒ CEF 769 --Use of CANON BP-930 Batteries to power Erasmus Recording Binocular - ERB experiment ‒ CEF 770 --Thomas Reiter to be filmed showing the SPHERE experiment during operation for DVD-4 experiment of the LDM ‒ CEF 771 --Filming the RWS (Robotic Workstation) of the SSRMS (Space Station Remote Manipulator System) while nominally operated, as part of the DVD-4 experiment of the LDM l Any additional support will be requested per additional CEF’s submitted by ESA. Upon approval, they will require a revision to the existing LDM MOA.

3. Page No. 3 ESA Long Duration Mission (LDM) Payloads l The LDM payloads are addressed in the IDRD Annex 5, Payload Tactical Plan, Rev A in Sections 3.0-4 and 10.3 l This applicability of this agreement is based on the following constraints: ‒ STS-121 / ISS Flight ULF-1.1 continues to launch in the May-July 2006 timeframe during Increment 13 which begins with the launch of 12 Soyuz (12S). ‒ The ESA LDM Crewmember flies aboard Flight ULF-1.1 and serves as Flight Engineer Number Two (FE-2) for Expedition 13. ‒ In the event that either of the above constraints changes, which would result in the need for NASA OZ and ESA HME-EP to significantly re-plan and re-prioritize Increment 13 utilization activities, integration activities associated with the various ESA CEFs addressed by this agreement will need to be reassessed as part of the overall Increment 13 re-plan and reprioritization activities.

This proposal addresses cardiovascular phenomena observed in cardiac patients and in astronauts alike. The equipment is also applied in the care of ailing patients. This proposal studies the mechanisms of activation of sympathoadrenal activity in humans during spaceflight. Studies of sympathoadrenal activity in plasma (acute changes in activity) and thrombocytes (long-term changes in activity) will be combined with measurements of cardiac output, arterial blood pressure and heart rate. This proposal also studies the mechanisms of activation of sympathoadrenal activity in humans during spaceflight. Studies of sympathoadrenal activity in plasma (acute changes in activity) and thrombocytes (long-term changes in activity) will be combined with measurements of cardiac output, arterial blood pressure and heart rate. CARD hardware can not be flown on ULF-1.1. All CARD hardware must be stowed within the Russian Segment under Russian allocations. Operation of the EPM Holter within the U.S. Segment is permitted only once certification is confirmed.. The CARD experiment to be performed for the LDM shall not require the use or storage of urine collection bags, kits, or other non-Holter hardware within the U.S. Segment, shall not require any cold stowage support from NASA, and shall not require the launch/return of hardware aboard the Shuttle. If such requirements are identified they will be submitted via CEF. Besides PFS data which will flow their nominal path to the involved ESA entities, the downlink of CARD data shall be requested of and coordinated by the Russian operations teams. If NASA assets are required to assist with downlink of the CARD data, then the use of such assets shall be requested of MOD by Russia and processed in accordance with existing MOD and Russian operating interface procedures. POI has no responsibility for planning or facilitating data downlink activities associated with CARD.

It is ESA intention to launch the BP/ECG cab le and the CEVIS/PFS data interface cable on 21P as part of the PFS Upgrade launch package. They would be stowed in the Russian segment until ULF1.1. However, the use of these cables, and any activity associated with this, is not within the scope of this agreement due to open issues regarding certification and ownership DVD-4Model of the ERMThe objective of this experiment is to have an ESA astronaut demonstrating some robotics applications in space for educational purposes Filming must be done either by the Russian Cosmonaut (FE-1) or ESA LDM crewmember (FE-2) on a non-interference basis with the execution of the RWS and SSRMS activities. This agreement does not authorize in any way the LDM crewmember to operate or participate in actual RWS or SSRMS operations. Any activities performed by the LDM crewmember shall be simulation only. Any participation by the LDM crewmember in the actual operations of SSRMS and RWS is outside the authorization authority of OZ and, should this be desired, must be coordinated with the Increment Manager and MOD.

6. Page No. 6 ESA Long Duration Mission (LDM) Payloads Experiment Name Associated HardwareResearch ObjectivesNASA Roles and/or Constraints ERB3D Video CameraThe objective is to bring on ground 3D images of the ISS, like the iMAX camera did in the past, to be used for communication (i.e. PR) and educational purposes. The use of the camera in weightlessness shall also provide ergonomic indications for the further development of the camera itself (i.e auto-vergence system and controls). The camera consists of a digital stereo acquisition system with a stereo viewer for the operator. It is a technological demonstrator of a miniaturized 3D camcorder using replaceable hard disks instead of tapes. The ERB camera requires 3 Canon BP-930 batteries to operate. 4 runs are expected, which will require 4 complete recharging of 3 batteries. All ERB hardware, except for the ISS- provided Canon batteries, must be maintained, stowed, and operated within the Russian Segment under Russian allocations. All ERB operations must be performed in the Russian Segment and are not authorized within the U.S. Segment. Oil EmulsionDouble contained cuboid filled with an emulsion of oil and water The objective of this experiment is to demonstrate the mixture of oil and water and following separation of the two liquids in microgravity. Target groups are secondary classes. The experiment is prepared by the pupils on ground and simultaneously accomplished by the astronaut. The visually dramatically different expected results can be discussed both regarding hydrostatic pressure and the cohesion forces between oil and water. The principle of scientific working can be already brought to the pupils in this pupil groups.. All Oil Emulsion hardware must be maintained, stowed, and operated within the Russian Segment under Russian allocations. All video taping of Oil Emulsion activities shall be performed in the Russian Segment. The video needs to be downlinked (video playback - tbc) as soon as possible after experiment execution, as it is needed on ground for educational purposes while the LDM crewmember is still on orbit (otherwise it will compromise experiment success). According to the current mission schedule, the return of the video has to be done before mid-November, 2006(tbc).
