here we go againdude i'm tired of lame question to unblock myspace from school machines. you kids thinkg that system administratiors are idiots and won't see what are you doing. give it up Sparky. Why not use Myaspace when you get home. oh..one more thing if you really wanted to do it you would find out and never ask the same question
1. The design for earth does not require an anti-radiation or heat shield as space models require. Also, the earth models operate on litium-ion and alkaline power sources. The gas monitors utilize a powersource that is different. 2. No this product was not originally used on a mission. It was initially designed to assist mine workers, who needed to know the percent of oxygen/methane/ hazardous gasses in the shafts. (Miner's used to use canary's (yellow birds) in cages). Raesystems is the leading manufacturer of gas monitors to the government and JPL (NASA). I work for the government (military), and have/use/provide several models for use.
That's way too vague. What kind of gas are we detecting? Combusible? Toxic? Oxygen? Co2?
