NASA Develops Quiet Fan to Combat Space Station Noise
NASA has developed a "Quiet Space Fan" to reduce noise on spacecraft, addressing the constant hum from life support systems on the International Space Station. This innovation aims to improve communication, awareness of alarms, and reduce hearing loss risks for astronauts. The fan, initially developed at NASA's Glenn Research Center, is significantly quieter than commercial fans and will be shared with the industry for use in future commercial space stations.
