Space Shuttle Orbiter Aft Fuselage Gas Sampling System (OAFGSS) bottle assembly, measuring 10˝ x 3.5˝ x 2˝, stamped on the main cylinder, "NO1 Left," and labeled, "SED33105212-301, P/N 1515-3, S/N 1010, Reprocessed FLT-3," with a "Class III, Not for Flight" label below. Includes its JSC tag and part bag.
The OAFGSS system is designed to determine if and at what levels explosive exhaust gasses were being collected in the Orbiter Aft Fuselage during ascent of the Space Shuttle. For this purpose, several gas transfer assemblies were developed and flown on the Orbiter. Each of the assemblies were programmed to sample exhaust gasses at several locations and altitudes along the Orbiter ascent trajectory. After a mission, these assemblies were downloaded and taken to a laboratory for gas analysis.
