Airbus: RUBI - full steam ahead for the ISS
(CercleFinance.com) - The next supply mission (CRS-18) to be launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, will transport a special "steam engine" to the International Space Station (ISS).
RUBI (Reference mUltiscale Boiling Investigation), developed and built by Airbus for the European Space Agency (ESA), studies the phenomena of the boiling of liquids.
RUBI will study the phenomena of phase transition and heat transfer during the evaporation of fluids in microscopic and macroscopic dimensions.
"In the future, this could contribute towards the production of more efficient and environmentally friendly household appliances (stoves, radiators) and heat exchangers for industrial manufacturing processes," the group said.
