6700 MICROGRAVITY SCIENCE DIVISION
The Microgravity Science Division at NASA GlennResearch Center is responsible for planning, advocating, managing, and implementing the content of the Combustion Science, Fluid Physics, and Acceleration Measurement Disciplines of NASA's Microgravity Research Program. These responsibilities have been delegated to the Division by the Microgravity Research Program Office at the Marshall Space Flight Center. The focus of the majority of the research investigations is to exploit the unique attributes of a microgravity environment to advance the understanding of important processes/phenomena in the fields of combustion science and fluid physics. The research content of the Program is established through broad-based solicitations for research proposals and peer-reviewed selections by NASA Headquarters. In addition to fundamental research, there is an increasing emphasis on focused reduced-gravity combustion and fluids research to enable future space missions planned by the Human Exploration and Development of Space Enterprise. The Division is also responsible for planning for the utilization of the International Space Station (ISS) for scientific and technological experiments in its assigned disciplines. A very significant and substantial part of the Division's effort is the definition, design, fabrication, assembly, testing, integration, and operation of flight hardware for experiments to be performed on the Space Shuttle, the ISS, and sounding rockets. This includes the development and operation of multi-rack, multi-user facilities which can enable optimum utilization of the ISS for combustion science and fluid physics experiments. | ||
