- Abstract
In order to extend our understanding of g-jitter, an experiment on diffusion phenomena was planed and a self-controlled and self-powered experimental apparatus with a passive isolation system was developed. Functions of the appararus were successfully examined by parabolic flights and their results were presented at IAC 2002. To increase the possibility of space flight of the experiment, the apparatus has been improved on its weight, controllability and power transport method using new passive dampers. Parabolic fight experiments have been made to validate the dampers. They achieve much better performance than older ones on damping factor and resonance frequency. Moreover, some improvements as an experiment support system for generic use has been also made to the apparatus. The apparatus is almost ready to fly.
