Preparing the DropCoal experiment for the ISS
The DropCoal experiment is one step closer to reaching the International Space Station! The research project, conducted by the European Space Agency, aims to investigate how droplets coalesce and mix in space. In order to study the phenomenon on the International Space Station, a similar experimental setup was tested in parabolic flight. The outputs of the microgravity…

First Light on Drop Coalescence hardware development
We are excited to share the first successful results of our colleagues developing the hardware for an experiment to be flown on the International Space Station. The video presented today shows a high speed recording of the dynamics of two water droplets coalescence and mixing process. One is a 2 mm diameter water droplet, the other…
