Capillary Structures

iss052e016481 (7/19/2017) --- A view taken of hardware for the Capillary Structures investigation in the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM). This investigation studies a new method using structures of specific shapes to manage fluid and gas mixtures. It also studies water recycling and carbon dioxide removal, benefiting future efforts to design lightweight, more reliable life support systems for future space missions.
