  1. Data taking periods are reported in the first column for the two materials listed in the second column. The total duration includes short ‘off’ periods due to many causes such as maintenance and transient electronic failures. The measurement site was inside the Express Rack 3 (ER3) in the Columbus module of the International Space Station. Kevlar measurement period ended on November 13th 2012. We use only data up to September 30th for electronic noise issues.
