The Study of the Formation of Negatively Charged Electrolysis Hydrogen Bubbles and Their Size Control Under Microgravity Conditions for Separation of Solid Inclusions from Fluid
Abstract: The previously conducted theoretical description of the mechanism of formation of negatively charged electrolysis hydrogen bubbles and control of their size under terrestrial conditions, confirmed experimentally, permitted to conclude that negatively charged electrolysis hydrogen bubbles, floating up in a fluid, meet on their way the solid particle with dimensions much larger than the size of bubbles and induce a positive charge on the surface of the solid particle. As a …

Stable control of the motion of gas bubbles dissolved in a vibrating fluid in microgravity conditions
Abstract: Previous theoretical and experimental studies of the effect of vibration on gas bubbles, dissolved in a fluid, permitted to establish the localization and stable position of a “swarm” of gas bubbles at a certain level of fluid in the vessel corresponding to a certain frequency and vibration acceleration, aswell as to the volume of a swarm of gas bubbles. The control of a “swarm“ of gas bubbles in a fluid …

New Advanced Life Support System (LSS) for long-duration missions on the International Space Station (ISS) and Interplanetary Spacecraft
Abstract: Oxygen in the air and the water are vital for the smooth operation of the crews of the International Space Station and interplanetary spacecraft during long-term flights. Replenishing by the water, oxygen and micro algae biomass by delivering them to the International Space Station or to the interplanetary spacecraft is not economically viable. Therefore, the task arises of using and developing new systems that use the regeneration of oxygen, hydrogen, …

Physical Features of Advanced Monocrystals Growth under Space Flight Conditions
Abstract: In terrestrial conditions, gravitational forces impede the production of materials with uniform distribution of components and phases. Strong thermo gravitational unsteady convection leads to instability of crystal growth parameters and limits the possibility of obtaining crystals with a high degree of homogeneity and structure with ideal parity. The first results of growing crystals under microgravity conditions showed the fundamental possibility of obtaining more perfect crystals due to the absence of …

Method of Obtaining of Concentrate of Rapidly Reproducing Microalga for Converting of the Emitted Carbon Dioxide into Oxygen and Food Biomass for Feeding of the Crew of an International Space Station during Long Flights
Abstract: It is known that the use of microalga solves the problem of utilizing carbonic acid formed during the life of astronauts and replenishing oxygen in the spacecraft atmosphere. There is evidence that among the mass of microalga used for research as oxygen products for space flights, chlorella and spirulina are suitable. In the field of creating a life support system (LSS) of the International Space Station (ISS), research is being …

Solving Problems Arising during the Monocrystals Growth in Microgravity Using Controlled Vibration
Abstract: Earlier studies of the vibration effect on a vessel with a fluid with gas bubbles dissolved in it permitted to establish the localization and stable position of the "swarm" of gas bubbles at a certain level of fluid in the vessel, corresponding to a certain frequency and vibration acceleration, as well as the volume of the "swarm" of gas bubbles. Controlling the "swarm" of gas bubbles in a fluid by …

A New Method for Continuous Charging of Spacecraft Fuel Elements Under Conditions of Long-term Space Flight
Abstract: Any flight control of a spacecraft (SC) depends on electricity on board. With the help of electricity, all its instruments and equipment (propulsion system, controls, communication systems, instrument complex, heating, etc.) function on board of the spacecraft. The power supply system (PSS) of a spacecraft is a critical system that ensures its life. The main base of the spacecraft power supply system is a system that generates direct electric current. …
