Compact laser light-scattering instrument for microgravity research. 1997

R B Rogers, and W V Meyer, and J Zhu, and P M Chaikin, and W B Russel, and M Li, and W B Turner

NASA has developed a compact laser light-scattering instrument that employs both static and dynamic light-scattering techniques for microgravity research. The first use of this instrument was to study the behavior of colloidal hard spheres in a reduced gravity environment during the Second United States Microgravity Laboratory space shuttle mission. We discuss the instrument design and possible improvements based on our observations of significant differences between hard-sphere behavior in Earth's gravity and microgravity.
