Popis: Characteristic features and results of D1 μg-measurements are discussed as performed in the Material Science Double Rack (MSDR) and MEDEA. The μg-data are analysed with respect to selected mission events such as thruster firings for attitude control, operations of Spacelab experiment facilities, vestibular experiments and crew activities. The origins are divided into orbit, vehicle and experiment induced perturbations. It has been found that the μg-environment is dictated mainly by payload induced perturbations. To reduce the μg-level, the design of some experiment facilities has to be improved. In addition, strongly disturbing experiments and very sensitive investigations should be performed in separate mission phases.
