| On-Orbit Bicycle Ergometer Loads Measurement |
| DTO 262 |
| Overview |
| The purpose of this DTO is to study the possibility of reducing the engineering conservatism by measuring the joined shuttle/International Space Station natural frequencies, using the bicycle ergometer as the natural frequency excitation source. Reduction of conservatism would allow more operational flexibility by reducing preflight load predictions and, thus, operational constraints. |
| History/Background |
| This is the second of seven planned flights of DTO 262. |
