The Space Grains collaboration will use the Vip-Gran instrument during the 73th ESA Parabolic Flight Campaign postponed to 26 October to 8 November 2020 at Novespace, Bordeaux (France)
The annual conference of the joint project GRANULOGY (Granular media in low-gravity environment) under Europe (ESA) and China (CMSA/CSU) Space Science and Utilization collaboration program is hold on 13th and 14th of January 2020 at Institut of Physics (IOP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Beijing (China) with Chinese and European members of Space Grains.
We will present the 7 – 8 May 2019 our joint project GRANULOGY (Granular media in low-gravity environment) between Europe (ESA) and China (CMSA/CSU) at ESA Headquarters (The Netherlands), with Chinese and European members of Space Grains.
This progress meeting took place in Modena, Italy. It gathered scientists of the Topical Team and industrials (DTM, CEDRA, UHB) to clarify the Experimental Scientific Requirements (ESR) in order to built the prototype model and the flight model of Vip-Gran for ISS.Space Grains
The aim of the Space Grains project is to study the dynamics and the statistical mechanics of an ensemble of particles that dissipates due to collisions. The experiments focus on clustering mechanisms, thermal fluctuations, convection, segregation and physical phenomena related to excited granular systems.
Coordination : E.Falcon and N.Vandewalle.-
