As written in the PSI record:
The focus of DAFT / DAFT-2 was to mitigate the risk for the Smoke Aerosol Measurement Experiment (SAME). SAME relied on a commercially available condensate nuclei counter, the TSI P-Trak, to quantify smoke aerosols in a microgravity environment, however there were concerns that th P-Trak would not be reliable in microgravity as it relies on gravity to recycle isopropyl alcohol used in the measurement process. DAFT / DAFT-2 tests that a modified P-Trak particulate counter would be accurate in microgravity. Summarized objectives include: 1) Demonstrate the Functionality of the Modified TSI P-Trak in Microgravity 2) Compare the TSI P-Trak Performance against the DustTrak control 3) Create and Analyze Aerosol Standards in Microgravity 4) Ensure the reliability of future aerosol experiments
PSI has summary rows only for this investigation (2 rows in PSI-47_Experimental table_DAFT.csv), not individual runs, so there is nothing to fingerprint run by run. The summary rows are listed below.
Nothing from this investigation can be placed on an O₂ × pressure chart: there are no individual runs to place.
PSI has no run-level table for this investigation: its experimental table holds summary rows only (each summarises a test series, not a single run), so nothing is placed or compared. The summary rows are listed below.
