Abstract
On the ISS, some areas do not satisfy the regulation criteria for acoustic noise. Controlling noise is important not only for protecting the hearing of the astronauts who stay on the ISS but also for the human factor, namely the quality of communication. The causes of noise is derived from atmospheric dust in the ISS. One of the main sources of this dust is the daily inboard clothing worn by the astronauts. The reduction of the dust from the inboard clothing is the most important to control the noise.In general, techniques have been developed to reduce dust when processing materials such as thread and fabric. At this time, we considered a technical process to reduce fuzz on 100% cotton inboard clothing used on the ISS, and have developed a clothes model and a singeing machine which can burn and remove fuzz on the surface of three dimensional inboard clothing of various shapes. Furthermore, to evaluate process performance, the industrial standard cellophane tape method was used for fuzz occurring on the surface of the processed samples.
