đâïž Do you want to discover an experiment that has already flown on the International Space Station?
.
Doctor Markus Thoma is a great scientist of Justus-Liebig-UniversitĂ€t GieĂen (JLU) in #Germany. He works about Investigation of complex low-temperature plasmas in laboratories and under #microgravity (ISS, parabolic flights).
Markus has already flown 12 times in the #ZEROG plane
.
âïžExperiments with complex plasmas can be done on ground by levitating the charged particles by electric fields but they are strongly affected by gravity and it is not possible to produce large 3D systems.
.
âïžCertain aspects of complex plasmas can therefore only be investigated under #microgravity.
Those experiments in sounding #rockets, #parabolic flights, on #MIR and #ISS (PKE-Nefedov, PK-3 Plus, PK-4) have benn performed for 20 years
.
âïžIn the present parabolic flight campaign â the 12th campaign with PK-4 since 2003 - Markus want to study lane formation in interpenetrating particle clouds and demixing of binary systems. The dynamical process of the spatial separation of microparticles of different sizes
.
đŹThe team will use a faster camera with a higher resolution than onboard the ISS, allowing more detailed and precise investigations... and this experiment was already performed in a campaign in 2016 !
.
Enjoy your flights #plasma team !
.
Plasma Medicine :
đđđ
Development and application of plasma sources at atmospheric pressure for sterilization, microbiology experiments with plasmas, surface analysis of plasma treated material
.
đ We voluntarily offset the carbon emissions of all our flights, scientific and public, with the association GERES - Renewable Energy Group Environment and Solidarity - which finances ecological projects and solidarity
