About this work

iss066e146847 (2/22/2022) --- A view of a transparent FLUIDICS sphere aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The FLUIDICS investigation evaluates the Center of Mass (CoM) position regarding a temperature gradient on a representation of a fuel tank. The observation of capillary wave turbulence on the surface of a fluid layer in a low-gravity environment can provide insights into measuring the existing volume in a sphere.
