Some members of the Multiscale Boiling experiment science team with ESA project scientist, Belgium User Support Operations Centre operators, and Airbus during a meeting at ESA's technical centre in the Netherlands.
Known as Rubi, the experiment was launched to the International Space Station in July 2019. It aims to expand our knowledge of the boiling process. Understanding how boiling behaves in weightlessness is imperative because gravity plays an important role in this process.
