Water experiments part 1 – Paddles | Cosmic Kiss (In German, English subtitles available)

ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer is currently living and working aboard the International Space Station for his first space mission, Cosmic Kiss. Recently, he has been experimenting with water in microgravity.

In this water experiments video series, Matthias demonstrates the different behavior of water in weightlessness and how this research is applied to life on Earth.

In Part 1, Matthias lets water spheres float inside the Columbus module of the Space Station and wets a paddle with a hydrophobic surface to take a closer look at the viscosity and surface tension of water.

Matthias will live and work in orbit for approximately six months for his Cosmic Kiss mission. During this time, he will conduct and support more than 35 European and numerous other international experiments in microgravity.

  1. Wenn ich mal ein Experiment vorschlagen dürfte: Falls es noch Laptops mit HDDs gibt, würde mich interessieren, ob die HDD ausreicht sie über den Drehimpuls zu stabilisieren im Raum. Gerne mit Zeitraffer, denn die ISS Kamera müsste sich ja dann um den Laptop drehen dessen Achse fest im Raum steht, ähnlich einem Foucaultschen Pendel.

  2. I wonder if the metal mercury in space acts like water you could have a fluid space craft that can be changed into different shapes to move in space by distorting space time,well probably???

  3. lach… das is ja wie nen sack flöhe hüten da im "windkanal" … mit dem gefühl bzw. verhältnis zu wasser muss man erstmal denken üben, aber schön träge is es schonmal also dämpft gut… wie verhält sich denn schockfrosten, vielleicht kann man funktionen einfrieren also wie ne krumme linse die dies und das bewirkt… vielen herzlichen dank fürs wissen schaffen

  4. 6:11 bestes Monokel aller Zeiten! 🖖🧐💧
    Wasser in der Schwerelosigkeit scheint ja ziemlich unhandlich zu sein. Klebt überall fest durch die Benetzung, und bei der kleinsten Bewegung fliegen lauter Tröpfchen überall hin. Aber sieht so faszinierend aus!
