Last January 28th, IVIDIL was finally deinstalled, and officially successfully finished. A space experiment, from the operative point of view, is always a great challenge, since so many people from so many different working fields and specialties are involved. The intervention and commitment of quite a big number of actors from the American, Canadian and European space agencies and teams have made possible quick and effective solutions to all issues found during the preparation and execution of this experiment.

E-USOC has lead the task to coordinate scientific team needs and top industry developers knowledge and experience, also has been in charge of the planning and execution of the experiment onboard the Columbus module, and of the implementation of all necessary changes to get the best results with the limited available time and resources derived from working in such a special environment as the ISS.

SODI IVIDIL Experiment Dates and Figures Installed Date By September 23rd 2009 Frank De Winne (ESA) Robert Thirsk(CSA) Deinstalled Date By January 28th 2010 Soichi Noguchi (JAXA) Science Images generated onboard No. Files Size 80827 159 GB Science Images downlinked No. Files Size 15673 30.9 GB Science Runs 57 Science running time 17 days, 1 hour and 59 min Number of Cell arrays 2

A great effort, rewarded by outstanding results has been made from all sides in the demanding field of space operations

Today, astronaut Bob successfully achieved the SODI-IVIDIL cell array and flash disk exchange activity. After the comissioning, some pictures were taken to check that everything was nominal on the experiment and the optics.

E-USOC team is ready to support operations with this new cell array, whose beginning is scheduled on December 1st. So far, we’re very pleased about the evolution of these operations, emphasizing the fantastic cooperation with the scientific team and our NASA partners.

We’d like to take this opportunity to comment that UPM has published a new article about our latest experiments.
