Professor Álvaro Romero-Calvo and a team of Georgia Tech engineers have been selected by NASA for a TechFlights award — an effort managed by NASA’s Flight Opportunities program, which demonstrates technologies through suborbital and hosted orbital testing with industry flight providers.
In the Low-Gravity Science and Technology (LGST) Laboratory, led by Romero-Calvo, Georgia Tech engineers develop novel multiphase fluid management technologies for spacecraft by using electromagnetic and acoustic actuation mechanisms; and in this case, heat.
