Conduct relevant microgravity science on boiling properties in extreme microgravity. |
| Description |
Design, build, test, and operate an orbital CubeSat system that will conduct relevant microgravity science on boiling properties in extreme microgravity. Primary focus is to investigate the heat transfer properties of nucleate boiling in extreme microgravity. Investigate 2 key aspects of nucleate boiling in microgravity, the effects of surface roughness and the effects of convection, caused by tiny accelerations. "Boiling" instrument and aerodynamic drag device which can be retracted. |
