LIGHTING PLANT [10 records]

Record 1 2012-07-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
  • Research Experiments in Space
OBS

The Astro/PGBA [Astro/plant generic bioprocessing apparatus] experiment hardware is contained in a double locker that will be installed into the EXPRESS Rack after the Shuttle is in orbit. The hardware consists of a plant growth chamber with a 10-inch by 12-inch growth area that allows 10 inches of plant height and 2 inches of roots. Fluorescent or LEO lighting will simulate sunlight, and an atmospheric control system will maintain set levels of carbon dioxide and humidity while scrubbing volatile organic compounds, such as ethylene, that can accumulate and inhibit plant growth. Plant transpiration water, collected from a dehumidifier system, can be recirculated back into the root matrix. A computer system will control experiment operations and provide engineering and video data for downlink to investigators on the ground.

OBS

The PGBA has successfully supported plant experiments that examine changes in plant lignification and related downstream biochemical consequences, especially production of secondary metabolites.

OBS

astro/plant biogeneric processing apparatus: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

CONT

Class IV power supplies AC loads that can be interrupted indefinitely without affecting personnel or plant safety. Typical loads on a Class IV system are normal lighting and the primary heat transport pump motors. During normal operation, the UST [unit service transformer] carries the reactor unit loads. Should the need arise; the loads can be supplied fully by the SST [system service transformer]. Thus, the electrical grid system serves as an emergency power supply for the Class IV system.

Sont raccordées au circuit de catégorie IV, des charges comme l'éclairage normal et les moteurs des pompes du circuit caloporteur. En condition normale d'exploitation, le transformateur d'alimentation du réacteur fournit l'énergie aux charges du réacteur. Au besoin, ces mêmes charges peuvent être complètement prises en charge par le transformateur d'alimentation des systèmes. En cas d'urgence, le réseau électrique prend la relève et alimente les charges raccordées au réseau de catégorie IV.

CONT

The BPS [Biomass Production System] is a double Shuttle Middeck locker equivalent, which provides four, 260 square centimeter, plant growth chamber configurations. Each chamber has independent control of temperature and humidity nutrient and water delivery, and lighting and atmospheric composition control. Environmental settings can be controlled within the following values :(1) temperature between 18°C and 35°C,(2) relative humidity between 65% and 90%,(3) light levels between 50 and 300 mol m-2s-1, and(94) ethylene can be removed.

CONT

The Biomass Production System (BPS) was developed as a precursor for systems capable of supporting plant growth and botanical experimentation in microgravity for extended periods of time on board the International Space Station (ISS).

OBS

Subject field(s)
  • Drainage and Irrigation (Agric.)
CONT

Roses are planted in plastic bags of mulch laid in troughs, with a drip irrigation system delivering water to each plant. Excess water is collected in the tray underneath the mulch, and returned to a recycling facility on the farm. Most newer greenhouses include lighting systems that increase photosynthesis in the winter months, when rose prices are highest.

CONT

Actuellement, la surface des serres produisant des légumes est d'environ 1350 ha, dont 1250 ha sont consacrés au concombre en alternance avec la tomate. La plupart des serres sont équipées d'un système d'irrigation au goutte-à-goutte et utilisent une quantité notable de fertilisants solubles.

CONT

La culture de la vigne est rendue possible grâce à un système d'irrigation par goutte à goutte trouvant sa source dans la rivière de Maipo.

OBS

L'organe de distribution d'un réseau de micro-irrigation par goutte à goutte est le goutteur. Celui-ci peut être en ligne donc inséré sur la rampe ou en dérivation donc fiché dans la paroi de celle-ci ou relié par l'intermédiaire d'un petit tube appelé conducteur.
