DATA & FILE OVERVIEW

File List: 
<list all files (or folders, as appropriate for dataset organization) contained in the dataset, with a brief description>
The item ISSMicrogravityExperiments_RawDataFromNASA contains zipped folders of raw data obtained from NASA containing overhead and ISS camera videos and images and a readme text file named ISSMicrogravity_Readme.txt file which describes what is contained in the folders.  

The zipped folders "GMT344_Setup_ISS_Crew_Video1" and "GMT344_Setup_ISS_Crew_Video1" consist of video files from overhead camera, showing ISS Commander Luca Parmitano setting up the experimental set-up in the ISS workspace. The zipped folder "GMT344_Setup_VLC_Recordings" consists of 30 video files from overhead camera showing the side camera view on a monitor and 66 individual frames from hand-held "overhead" camera. 

The zipped folders "GMT345_Science_Operations_ISS_Crew_Video1" and "GMT345_Science_Operations_ISS_Crew_Video2" consist of videos of overhead camera showing astronaut Cmdr Luca Parmitano conducting experiments on capillary plates on the MSG in ISS. The zipped folder "GMT345_Science_Operations_VLC_Recordings" consists of 29 videos of hand-held overhead camera and 54 individal frames from hand-held camera showing the experiments on MSG. The zipped folder "GMT345_Science_Operations_Ops" consists of 1 video from overhead camera of a single experiment (25% surface fraction plate with SAM1 coating) and 22 individal frames from hand-held camera.

The excel sheets "2019-12-10 Inertial Spreading Setup Work Volume readings.xlsx" and "2019-12-11 Inertial Spreading Ops Work Volume readings.xlsx" provide ambient conditions on the International Space Station during set-up and actual experiments, respectively. 

Note that the videos do not have intelligible audio beside possible ambient noise.
