A passive carrier employing water-based phase-change materials is designed to return temperature-critical payloads from the International Space Station. These materials expand by 9% when frozen, which can cause rupture of freezers and/or an inability

We describe a methodology for determining thermal diffusivities in real time by using temperature measurements at only two locations in a cylindrical sample. The technique is based on an analytical solution of heat transfer in a circular cylinder. Th

Vacuum insulation panels have values of thermal conductivity that are extremely low ∼4mW/ms˙K compared to the thermal conductivity of most common insulations. Typical ASTM test methods are not designed for testing these very low thermal conductivi

Polyurethane foam has been produced in low gravity for the first time. The cause and distribution of different void or pore sizes are elucidated from direct comparison of unit-gravity and low-gravity samples. Low gravity is found to increase the pore

The third sounding rocket payload in the Consort program was launched from the White Sands Missile Range on May 16, 1990. It carried 12 experiments designed to investigate materials processes in low gravity. All of the experiments were reflights from

An apparatus that produced the first polyurethane foam in low gravity has been described. The chemicals were mixed together in an apparatus designed for operation in low gravity. Mixing was by means of stirring the chemicals with an electric motor an
