"Revolutionary Experiment Paves the Way for Climate Control in Space Habitats"

Purdue University has sent an experiment to the International Space Station to study how reduced gravity affects condensation, with the aim of enabling heat and air conditioning systems for long-term space habitats. The experiment, called the Flow Boiling and Condensation Experiment (FBCE), will investigate the behavior of condensation in a reduced-gravity environment. The research could have implications for future space exploration, including living on the moon or Mars, as well as improving spacecraft capabilities for longer journeys and refueling in orbit.
