MICROGRAVITY AND LIFE SCIENCE
Microgravity and life science
magnetic fluids in microgravity (developed mainly by Institute for
Space Science - Gravitational Researches Laboratory (GRL), Institute on
Complex Fluids (ICF) "Politehnica" University Timisoara and Magnetic
Fluids Laboratory - Centre for Fundamental and Advanced Technical Researches
- Timisoara Branch of the Romanian Academy
cooperation with DARA/ZARM Drop Tower facility in Bremen, Germany,
employed Romanian prepared magnetic fluids for researches on their
rheological and magnetiorheological properties
the mechanism of heat transfer in nucleate boiling of magnetic fluids
under microgravity conditions
GRL studies of the magnetic fluids composites denoted a microscopic
inner rotation of the nonmagnetic phase in the magnetic liquid
Romanian Space Agency proposed experiments designed to a small payload
(0.5 to 0.9 kg) onboard of a microsatellite
horizontal axis clinostate to simulate microgravity conditions for
plants and cells (Technical University of Timisoara)
human and animal physiology under microgravity and radiation
(Institute on Normal and Phatological Physiology and Institute of
Aeronautical Medicine)
cellular behavior in microgravity (UNESCO Centre on Biodynamics -
Bucharest)
influence of magnetic liquids on plants and cells (Agricultural
University of Banat, University of Craiova)
