Sloshing in space

Origin Entry: Sloshing in space

Description

ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet working in the Kibo laboratory of the International Space Station to verify how fluids behave in weightlessness. Researchers can model and predict how water behaves on Earth, but without gravity things become even more complicated. The SPHERES-Slosh experiment has been using the Station's volleyball-sized autonomous robots to observe how fluids move and behave inside containers.
