CONT

The Fluid Science Laboratory (FSL) is a multi-user research capability to study dynamic phenomena of fluid media in the absence of gravitational forces. FSL occupies one ISPR [International Standard Payload Rack]. For facility users, the most significant FSL element is the Facility Core Element that houses the central experiment module, the optical diagnostics module and the standardised Experiment Containers (ECs). ... The FSL can be operated in fully automatic or semi-automatic modes by the flight crew, or in a remote-control mode from the ground (telescience).
