Damaged Pipette for Passive Thermal Flight Experiment
iss051e041912 (5/13/2017) --- Photo documentation of a broken pipette that was to be used to dispense water droplets into the Electrowetting Drawer of ExPRESS (Expedite the Processing of Experiments to Space Station) Rack 8 for the Passive Thermal Flight Experiment. The Advanced Passive Thermal eXperiment (APTx) tests three advanced thermal management technologies. It demonstrates the in-space performance of each, an important step toward improving these technologies for use on future space exploration missions.
