ISS Materials Research
Deena Dombrosky (Zin Technologies Engineer) is shown here filling a Procter & Gamble (P & G) sample that will be used in ground-testing as NASA prepares for their experiment on the International Space Station (ISS). The sample particles are the size of the wavelength of light and they are dyed orange/pink to glow when illuminated with the laser light enabling a confocal microscope to produce 3D images. The P & G experiment will improve product stabilizers that extend product shelf life. This has the added advantage of leading to more compact environmentally friendly containers.
