Space Station Live: Fluid Motion Study Using Mini-Satellites

NASA Public Affairs Officer Brandi Dean talks with Dr. Paul Schallhorn, the principal investigator for the SPHERES-Slosh experiment. This study, which takes a look at fluid motion in microgravity, will use the International Space Station's free-flying satellites known as Synchronized Position Hold, Engage, Reorient, Experimental Satellites, or SPHERES.

The hardware for SPHERES-Slosh will be launching to the station Dec. 18 aboard the Cygnus cargo craft during the Orbital 1 commercial resupply mission.
