Drop Vibration experiment setup in MSG

iss064e002375 (Jan. 15, 2017) --- An image of the Drop Vibration hardware inside the Microgravity Science Glovebox (MSG) aboard the International Space Station. Drop Vibration examined the behavior of big liquid drops whose perimeter of contact, called the contact line, moves rapidly as the drops change shape, an effect that is slower and larger in microgravity and can be observed better. This knowledge has applications in the development of self-cleaning surfaces, water harvesting devices, anti-frost coatings, and the fabrication of semiconductors.
