A Purdue University experiment sent to the space station Tuesday onboard an Antares rocket could provide an understanding into heating and air condition in space.
was sent to the International Space Station on Tuesday to collect data toward understanding how reduced gravity affects condensation.
The experiment launched on Northrop Grumman's 19th commercial resupply services mission onboard an Antares 230+ rocket at 8:31 p.m. from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.Along with other science investigations, with those and cargo on the Cygnus cargo spacecraft weighing more than 8,200 pounds, a module will conduct the second experiment of a facility called the Flow Boiling and Condensation Experiment.
A Northrop Grumman Cygnus resupply spacecraft is on its way to the International Space Station with more than 8,200 pounds of NASA science investigations and cargo after launching Tuesday from the agency’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. Last summer, mechanical engineering professor Issam Mudawar and his students finished their first experiment gathering data from a module of FBCE on the space station that measure the effects of reduced gravity on boiling. , researchers will be able to conduct the second experiment, which will investigate how condensation works in a reduced-gravity environment.
Northrop Grumman’s Antares rocket launches the S.S Laurel Clark Cygnus spacecraft on Aug. 1 from Wallops Island, Virginia, for cargo delivery to crew aboard the International Space Station.
