October 13-17, 2024 – Olfa D’Angelo is co-organizing, with Thomas Voigtmann and Norman Wagner, a mini-session on Space Applications and Low-gravity Research at the Society of Rheology in Austin (TX), Oct. 13-17, 2024.
This mini-session offers a platform for rheology and space-related science to meet. Low-gravity research can be used to develop novel rheology experiments, including ones that could not be performed on the ground. Rheology will also be an essential part of future space exploration missions, from granular flows on extraterrestrial planets, to astronauts’ physiology, fuel viscosity under different gravity, and 3D printing housing on the Moon. Joining this mini-session will expand your perspective to highlight the role rheologists will play in space science and exploration.
Besides the exciting lineup of invited speakers who will present during this mini-session and a lunch with a NASA astronaut during which ISS opportunities will be discussed, we offer to highlight posters and presentations related to space applications and low-gravity research within all abstracts submitted to the SoR meeting. Highlight your abstract as part of this topic during submission.
