Abstract

The Facility for Adsorption and Surface Tension studies (FAST) has recently flown on-board the Shuttle Columbia, in the SPACEHAB module, during the STS-107 mission. In this paper a first evaluation of the experimental results obtained is presented, together with the basic working principle of the Capillary Pressure Tensiometer, which is the core of the facility, and the main lines of the experiments performed during the flight.
