About this work

STS048-10-023 (16 Sept 1991) --- Astronaut James F. Buchli poses with the structural test article (STA), a model of the space station truss structure. The STA is part of the middeck zero gravity dynamics experiment (MODE). MODE was designed to study the vibration characteristics of the jointed truss structure. The structural test article includes four strain gauges and eleven accelerometers and is vibrated by an actuator.
