A zero G fluid drop injector for the drop dynamics module spacelab experiment
G. M. Holtz · NASA Technical Reports Server (NASA) · 1979
A fluid drop injector was developed to form and release fluid drops into free drift within an experimental apparatus known as the Drop Dynamics Module which is to be flown on an earth orbiting Spacelab. To verify the design concept, a breadboard injector was flown on the NASA KC-135 zero g airplane after which more extensive laboratory 1 g tests were performed to improve the injector design and enable it to meet the module's functional requirements. The breadboard fluid drop injector will be modified and upgraded to flight hardware.
