CLEO (Cohesive Granular Matter in Low Earth Orbit) ESA SciSpacE European contract was officially signed on 11.11.2025. It ranges from 2026 to 2028 to study slightly cohesive granular environments such as those found on the surface of astrophysical bodies using a new unmanned low-orbit space vehicle (such as Space Riders capsule).
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.-
