By considering experiment commissioning and execution phases, a total of two months of in-orbit experience could be collected, making AVANTI the most authoritative benchmark for designing the first phase of the approach for future active debris removal missions.
Ask those involved in these moments of creative blooming, and they will often tell you much the same thing: "management" was discreet and enabling; artists were free to experiment; commissioning was not mired in lengthy bureaucracy; the stakes were relatively low and ambition high; failure was an option.
IN the dying years of imperial Russia, Sergei Mikhailovich Prokundertookky undertook a great photographic experiment: commissioned by Nicholas II, Prokudin-Gorsky traveled the country from 1905 to 1915, documenting the sights, flavors and especially the people of the Russian empire, then displaying the results with an experimental three-color projector.
It's a small-scale experiment, commissioned by Heathrow Airport Holdings Limited and built by UK-based Ultra Global PRT (for Personal Rapid Transit), but its success – measured by cost savings, environmental impact and user-friendliness – may help define locomotion in the city of tomorrow.
In an experiment commissioned by Duolingo itself, Vesselinov and his team found that using Duolingo for 34 hours is about the equivalent of a one-semester language class.

STAR is one of four experiments commissioned at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at BNL in 1999 and 2000.
Experiments commissioned by the State of Nevada at a laboratory at Catholic University of America showed that Alloy 22 could break down in as little as 15 days -- under harsh conditions, with the right recipe of heat, acidic water and trace amounts of lead, arsenic and mercury.
Starbucks was so intrigued by the sound experiment they commissioned a special playlist for customers to listen to while enjoying a new Starbucks instant coffee at home.
Conclusions can be drawn from the analysis of many faults, and experience in operation, that these potential faults are systemic and built in during design and construction, and are difficult to detect by experiments before commission.
