Johnson Space Center, Houston TX Assembly and Disassembly Training Urine Monitoring System (UMS) 3 The ISS UMS is a successor design to the existing Shuttle UMS. –This re-design is hoped to resolve anomalies previously experienced with the previous shuttle UMS system: liquid carry- over, inaccurate void volume measurements, and cross contamination in void samples. It interfaces with the Russian ACY waste collection system in Node 3. It allows for the measurement of volume of each urine void and has the capability to acquire samples for stowage and subsequent analysis. The UMS can be used to facilitate non-invasive methods for monitoring crew health, evaluation of countermeasures, and reduce the need for blood samples. What is the ISS UMS?

Johnson Space Center, Houston TX Assembly and Disassembly Training Urine Monitoring System (UMS) 5 In-flight Operations UMS Checkout –Performed post-launch (20A) and post-installation of WHC into Node 3 to verify functional/science requirements. –Consists of a validation sequence and nominal usage sequence 1) Validation: a bank of pre-filled syringes are injected into the UMS and samples are collected for return to Earth and analyses. 2) Nominal use: subjects collect two urine samples (one frozen, one ambient) from all voids for two days. Return samples to ground for evaluation of machine functionality only. –Samples will be returned on 19A

Johnson Space Center, Houston TX Assembly and Disassembly Training Urine Monitoring System (UMS) 12 Key Points Assemble the UMS Mechanical Module such that sample port is easily accessible. Attach UMS Mechanical Module on same side as WHC front panel controls in order to ease cable management. Locate SSC so that it is easily readable from your working location. Procedure picture is a guideline, you may find a better way. Experiment team will support from ground during real-time ops.
