Figure 10.2.13 Experiment Functional Block Diagram _____Table 10.2.2 Data Budget Estimation_____ Environment and Safety Issues During all the experiment phases (including EVA activity) the normal safety regulations of Mir shall apply. Furthermore the question of microwave radiation effects on the Mir crew has to be examined. As mentioned before, the experiment will be carried out at 2.45 GHz. In this frequency range the penetration depth through metals is in the range of some micro meters. Therefore the Mir modules with their metal structure offers a perfect shielding. Only the Mir windows could be potential points of radiation leakage, but since these windows are commonly protected by a thin gold layer, they
