ESA Research Missions Components ... Tour Spacelab was a reusable laboratory designed to allow scientists to perform experiments in microgravity conditions while orbiting Earth. It was developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) and is mounted inside the cargo bay of NASA's Space Shuttle. Carried to orbit in the Shuttle, Spacelab provided a versatile laboratory where scientists researched many different fields of science. Spacelab was used on numerous shuttle missions between 1983 and 1997. For each mission, Spacelab components were assembled and placed into the orbiter cargo bay at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

NASA Science News home Not Just Another Old Flame NASA scientists have discovered unexpected spiral-shaped flames on Earth. By studying these peculiar flames, researchers hope to mitigate fire hazards on spacecraft and gain new insights about complex systems in nature. May 12, 2000 The forms of flames on Earth are familiar to everyone. We all know what a burning match, candle, fireplace or blowtorch look like or a burning building, or rocket ignition blast. The presence of gravity and the effects of air or gas movement, plus the type of fuel and oxidant, determine everything from a flame's shape and temperature to burn rate, burn pattern, soot production and deposition and how fast it will or won't be extinguished. "But in the microgravity of space, we are not dealing with just another old familiar flame," says Dr. Vedha Nayagam of NASA's National Center for Microgravity Research on Fluids and Combustion at the Glenn Research Center (GRC) in Cleveland, OH, where the nature of combustion in space is being studied intently by teams of scientists. Above : On Earth, gravity-driven buoyant convection causes a candle flame to be teardrop-shaped (A) and carries soot to the flame's tip, making it yellow. In microgravity, where convective flows are absent, the flame is spherical, soot-free, and blue (B). [

LMS was a shuttle mission using the spacelab module to conduct life and microgravity experiments in a weightless environment. Experimenters from all over the world used the spacelab module facilities to conduct a wide variety of experiments from microgravity bubble behavior to protein chrystallization. Experiments also focused on the effects of weightlessness on human physiology and function.

Pool Boiling Curve in Microgravity Abstract Experimental Appratus Test Vessel (click on figure to see actual picture Heater Surface (click on figure to see actual picture Two heater surfaces are placed on a single flat substrate, installed so as to form one wall of the test vessel as shown in Figure 1, with one acting as a back-up. Each heater consists of a 400 thick semi-transparent gold film sputtered on a highly polished quartz substrate, seen in Figure 2, and serves simultaneously as a heater, with an uncertainty of 2 % in the measurement of the heat flux, and a resistance thermometer, with an overall uncertainty of 1.0 C. The heater is rectangular in shape, 19.05 x 38.1 mm (0.75 x 1.5 inch). Degassed commercial grade R-113 (trichlorotrifluoroethane, ) was used because of its low normal boiling point (47.6 C), which minimized problems associated with heat loss to the surroundings, and because of its electrical nonconductivity, which is compatible for direct contact with the thin gold film heater. Further experimental details may be found in Merte et al. (1995). Conclusions It appears that long term steady state nucleate boiling can take place on a flat heater surface in microgravity with a wetting liquid under conditions in which a large vapor bubble somewhat removed from the heater surface is formed, which acts as a reservoir to remove the bubbles from immediate vicinity of the heater surface. The steady nucleate boiling heat transfer is significantly enhanced in microgravity compared to that in earth gravity.

Weightlessness From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (Redirected from Microgravity Weightlessness is the experience of apparently having no weight . This condition is also known as microgravity (see below). Weightlessness is not due to an increased distance to the earth: the acceleration due to gravity at a height of, for example, 100 km is only 3% less than at the surface of the earth. Weightlessness means a zero g-force : acceleration is equal to gravity. What humans experience as weight is not actually the force due to gravity (even though that is the technical definition of weight). What we feel as weight is actually the force of the ground (or whatever surface we are in contact with) pushing upwards against us to counteract the force due to gravity. A wood block in a container in free-fall experiences weightlessness. This is because there is no reaction to the wood block's weight from the container, as it is being pulled down with the same acceleration. The acceleration of the container equals the acceleration of the block, which equals the acceleration caused by gravity. When the container is at rest on the ground, however, the force on each piece of the block is not uniform. Because the block is not accelerating, there is also a force upward that arises because the block is a solid. Each horizontal cross section of the block experiences not only the force due to gravity on it, but also the weight of whatever portion of the block is above it. Part of feeling weight, then, is actually experiencing a pressure gradient within one's own body.

The Scientist 13[18]:1, Sep. 13, 1999 News Microgravity and Gene Expression: Early Results Point to Relationship By A.J.S. Rayl It's a simple but haunting question: Can microgravity influence gene expression? Yes, according to a recent study of human cells conducted aboard NASA's space shuttle. In fact, the results are so promising that the investigators believe their continuing research could lead to better toxicology tests, key elements of tissue engineering, and new treatments for various diseaseswhile broadening the scope of scientific experimentation. Astronaut Katherine P. Hire works with the bioreader system aboard Columbia on April 28, 1998. "We flew a cell culture incubator containing human kidney cells specifically to look at renal hormone production of vitamin D3 and erythropoietin, and we found that there were dramatic effects, that many, many genes change," says principal investigator Timothy G. Hammond , associate professor of medicine and nephrology at Tulane University Medical Center's Environmental Astrobiology Center and a Veterans Administration (VA) physician. "Our idea was that this [occurred] because the mechanical culture conditions in flight were changed." Unlike conventional cultures on the ground, a microgravity suspension culture permits "the simultaneous achievement of low-fluid shear stress, three-dimensional spatial freedom, and cospatial location of particles with different sedimentation rates," points out coinvestigator

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration set up two booths amid the other gadgets displayed at this week's Manufacturing and Design Show convention in Chicago to market NASA's wares. The four-day convention drew more than 50,000 industry professionals from around the world. "We provide access to microgravity. For those who don't want to share their discoveries, they write a check," NASA spokesman Blake Powers said.

SEARCH: Hubble Space Telescope advertisement Russian Research Satellite to Conduct Microgravity Experiments By Anatoly Zak Staff Writer posted: 12:07 pm ET 09 September 1999 Military ground crews at Cosmodrome Plesetsk, Russia's northern launch site, are conducting final checks for a planned launch Thursday of a Soyuz booster carrying a Foton-12 satellite, according to the Russian Space Agency. The unmanned satellite is expected to spend just over two weeks in orbit, conducting microgravity experiments in chemistry and biotechnology for the Russian and European space agencies. Because it is a small, unpiloted spacecraft with no rotating parts, the level of microgravity available for experiments onboard Foton-type spacecraft is hundreds of times higher than that achievable on the Space Shuttle or the Mir space station. Life support systems and other electric motors on these piloted craft cause vibrations that limit the level of microgravity. Upon completion of its two-week mission, the spacecraft's reentry vehicle will return to Earth with its 1,342 lb. (610 kg) scientific payload. Images Foton spacecraft. Click to enlarge
