BOILUS Team Our project aims to study the interaction between acoustic fields and boiling in microgravity conditions

Storage of cryogenic propellant at low temperatures in microgravity conditions is a critical process. While in the Earth surface, boiling is an efficient heat transfer process where bubbles are able to move due to the difference in density, in microgravity conditions is the opposite, these bubbles are not able to detach and then they accumulate in stagnant areas. As a consequence of this fact, it

can become dangerous in some aspects such as the tank chill down, the engine restart, the propellant loading and management. Our goal will be to understand and connect the physics of US physics of ultrasound with boiling in microgravity by means of an ultrasound system for heat flux management.

A few flights later.... One flight left to reach home and the end of the campaign for us. We'll be updating soon, once we get our energy back! This isn't over yet

A PROMISE IS A PROMISE
About a year ago, during the Training Week, Guillem made a promise: he wouldn't shave until the launch campaign, but he broke this promise, and now he has to pay for that. Our team has taught him a lesson and this is what happened!

LO PROMETIDO ES DEUDA
Hace aproximadamente un año, durante la Training Week en Alemania, Guillem hizo una promesa: se dejaría crecer la barba hasta la campaña de lanzamiento. Como sabéis, rompió esta promesa. Nuestro equipo se ha encargado de enseñarle que las promesas NO se rompen y esto fue lo que pasó!
