Objective:
Study of dynamics of charged macroparticle systems in a magnetic field under microgravity conditions.
Used science hardware:
Apparatus KUK.
Description:
Cosmonaut controls apparatus operation. Changeable containers are accommodated in electromagnet operating zone. Shooting of dust plasma structures is conducted in a magnetic trap. Sessions of the experiments are conducted both with illumination of ampoules by sunlight directed by sun concentrator and with no illumination. Videocassettes with the recorded information is sent via ISS RS TV system.
Experiment results:
Testing the methods to control dynamics of solid, disperse, liquid media via magnetic field under microgravity conditions.
Physical modeling of dynamics of space dust particles exposed to sunlight.
Shooting a videofilm to be used for educational programs.
