jsc2024e065167 (10/3/2024) --- Render of the Nanolab Astrobeat module core. This investigation tests cold welding in a space environment. Cold welding is a method in which metallic materials fuse or weld at ambient temperature provided that there is sufficient high contact force. Testing consists of releasing tension in springs so two pieces of metal collide to perform cold welding. Image courtesy of Dr. Leonardo Barilaro, The Malta College of Arts, Science & Technology.
