After a space shuttle mission and upon retrieval of SAMS data from Mir, PIMS provides the microgravity user community with a Summary Report of Mission Acceleration Measurements, a standardized overview of the vibration and acceleration activity recorded by SAMS and OARE during the mission. Specific data processing requests are also supported in near real-time and post mission.

PIMS provides SAMS and OARE data through CD-ROM distribution and SAMS and OARE data through file server access. SAMS data collected on missions up to and including STS-73 are available on CD-ROM from PIMS. PIMS also has available a variety of information about specific microgravity missions, accelerometer systems, and vibration and acceleration data.

PIMS provides its customers with a range of services. Data analysis and interpretation support is provided to all users. Near real-time analysis is available on missions with downlinked accelerometer data.
