The ISS has some aerosol sources in common with buildings on Earth, but can be considered an isolated volume of air with only internally generated aerosols from occupants, their activities and ISS infrastructure.
Eli Lilly-Lyophilization
Lyophilization in Microgravity (Eli Lilly-Lyophilization) seeks to understand the influence of gravity on the physical state and properties of lyophilized materials of interest in the pharmaceutical industry.
Hard to Wet Surfaces (Eli Lilly-Hard to Wet Surfaces)
The Hard to Wet Surfaces (Eli Lilly-Hard to Wet Surfaces) investigation is simple, safe, and similar to the standard dissolution experiments run at Eli Lilly.
MFHT
High speed thermography will measure local heat transfer to investigate effect of gravity and tube size on microgravity flow boiling in ESA Heat Transfer Host.
MISSE
The Materials International Space Station Experiment (MISSE) project involves a series of spaceflight missions with experiments flown on the exterior of the ISS to test the performance and durability of materials and devices exposed to the LEO space environment.
SCWM, SCWM-2
The SCWM investigation is a follow-on experiment to the High Temperature Insert (HTI) investigation and serves as a prelude to the study of oxidative processes in a future supercritical water oxidation investigation.
STDCE-1, -2
On earth, fluid convection is dominantly dictated by buoyancy and thermocapillary forces are reduced. These thermocapillary forces are caused by temperature-induced surface tension variations that are not easily studied where gravity is strong.
