M. Weislogel, Y. Chen, and student team were recently funded >$500k for a 3-year contract with NASA to conduct microgravity fluid mechanics experiments aboard the International Space Station. The research continues along established lines for this group and consists of up to 14 handheld, astronaut-performed experiments that are expected to fly to ISS beginning 2010. The research topic concerns capillary fluidics and is particularly interesting over large length when the impact of body forces (i.e. gravity) are substantially reduced. The group is also expected to continue their microfluidics ground-based research as well as support a German-USA experiment slated also to fly to ISS in 2010.
