Passive Thermal Flight Experiment OPS

iss051e049793 (5/25/2017) --- A view of the Electrowetting Drawer taken during Passive Thermal Flight Experiment operations (OPS) in the Kibo Japanese Experiment Pressurized Module (JPM) aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The Advanced Passive Thermal eXperiment (APTx) tests three advanced thermal management technologies. It demonstrates the in-space performance of each, an important step toward improving these technologies for use on future space exploration missions.
