SwRI investigates boiling processes in partial gravity

Los Angeles CA (SPX) May 14, 2024

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) is examining how liquids boil under partial gravity in a series of parabolic flights. This internally funded project, conducted with Texas A and M University, aims to understand boiling on different surfaces in partial gravity, which is crucial for future space missions to the Moon or Mars. "We have so little data about how boiling works in reduced gravi
