Working in microgravity creates new challenges, even for simple tasks. Next to a floating Hopkins is a HUNCH Tape Dispenser specialized for operations in microgravity. This tape dispenser, developed by high school students through the NASA HUNCH (High Schools United with NASA to Create Hardware) program, requires only one hand to cut pieces of tap. This improves crew efficiency and addresses human factors that must be considered when working in the microgravity environment.
