The day before our experiment flies.
Our last opportunity to change things.
And that's what we did.
The first thing we had to change was what we had at the bottom of the secondary containment for absorbency purposes. We put in these absorbent socks that smelled a little funky, but were NASA approved.
Our final rig is pictured here, right before we put it on the plane and bolted it down to the floor. The Zero-G plane was incredible. Everything was padded so hopefully we wouldn't hurt ourselves, unless we really wanted to.
The ground crew did our procedure to see approximately how long it would take to fill and drain the whole tank. (Pretty long actually, I hope no one's impatient...)
Tomorrow, Kay, Isa and Stephanie (with another team from Purdue) fly in zero gravity. We wish them luck!
