Abstract:

Two operational surface tension experiment hardware units were delivered to AFRPL for orbital flight tests. The companion dielectrophoretic experiment effort was terminated during the early fabrication phase. This 22-month program was divided into two phases. The first phase, lasting seven months, provided experiment definition, analysis, predesign and test plans for both experiments. This report summarizes all work performed during Phase 2 concerning final design, fabrication, and successful ground testing of the surface tension experiment apparatus. Author
