and, in combination with the database identifying areas of potential leaks, as a system for
control of the ISS pressure hull condition.
RESULTS
The performance and ergonomic
properties of the Bar equipment were
verified, and 56 potentially hazardous
zones of leaks were identified and
examined. Additional zones of potential
micro-destruction growth on the ISS
pressure hull were also identified. Several
databases were created to track the
background physical environmental
parameters in the potentially hazardous
zones of leak and micro-destruction
growth, the current state of the ISS
pressure hull (including microbiological and
corrosive conditions on the hull), and train
cosmonauts to identify surfaces in which
microorganism colonies have expanded.
