A new and more effective radiometric diagnostic device will enable the International Space Station (ISS) to collect data for droplet combustion experiments, thanks to two small infrared thermopile sensor detectors. Along with the 2.9 tons of mission-critical supplies of food, fuel and other necessities sent to the ISS in early November 2011, Dexter Research Center sent its ST-60 and 2M precision noncontact IR sensors for NASA’s Combustion Integrated Rack (CIR), which is used to perform combustion experiments in microgravity. The CIR can be reconfigured easily in orbit to...Read full article
