Dr. Don Pettit performs a number of microgravity experiments while onboard the International Space Station.
This is a compilation of the experiments performed for the Saturday Morning Science program.
Saturday Morning Science:
Surface tension of water in microgravity onboard the International Space Station.
(Jan. 25, 2003) -- (Part 2 of 2) In this experiment Expedition Six NASA ISS Science Officer Don Pettit demonstrates the surface tension of water.
Saturday Morning Science:
Opening a can of honey in microgravity onboard the International Space Station.
(March 15, 2003) --- Expedition Six NASA ISS Science Officer Don Pettit demonstrates how the International Space Station crew prepares and eats snacks. In this first of four video clips, Pettit opens a can of honey.
Saturday Morning Science:
Surface tension of water in microgravity onboard the International Space Station.
(March 8, 2003) -- NASA ISS Science Officer and Expedition Six Flight Engineer Don Pettit creates vortex rings inside a sphere of water. The vortex rings were created using tracer particles injected into a sphere of water attached to a wire loop.
Saturday Morning Science:
Surface tension of water in microgravity onboard the International Space Station.
(Feb. 19, 2003) --- Expedition Six NASA ISS Science Officer Don Pettit conducts an experiment using a film of water in a wire loop. He drops a solution into the film, demonstrating two-dimensional motion within the film.
Saturday Morning Science:
Drinking tea with chopsticks in microgravity onboard the International Space Station.
(March 15, 2003) --- Expedition Six NASA ISS Science Officer Don Pettit demonstrates how the International Space Station crew prepares and eats snacks. In this second of four video clips, Pettit drinks from a bag of tea using chopsticks.
Saturday Morning Science:
City lights from space onboard the International Space Station.
(Feb. 18, 2003) --- Expedition Six NASA ISS Science Officer Don Pettit narrates video he took of city lights at night.
Saturday Morning Science:
Aurora and city lights from space, International Space Station.
(Jan. 21, 2003) --- International Space Station Expedition Six NASA ISS Science Officer Don Pettit narrates this Earth observation video that shows the Aurora Borealis and city lights.
Saturday Morning Science:
(March 22, 2003) --- Expedition Six NASA ISS Science Officer Don Pettit performs a series of microgravity experiments with water spheres and effervescent antacid tablets. In the third of four videos, Pettit tests methods for removing gas bubbles from a large sphere containing dissolved antacid and water.
Saturday Morning Science:
Eating snacks in microgravity International Space Station.
(March 15, 2003) --- Expedition Six NASA ISS Science Officer Don Pettit demonstrates how the International Space Station crew prepares and eats snacks. In this third of four video clips, Pettit eats peanut butter.
A proposed mission to Saturn's moon Titan using NASA's NEXT ion engine. The NEXT ion thruster is capable of delivering 236 milliNewtons of force over the course of the multi-year mission to deliver a satellite and a lander to Titan.
For the Titan mission, both an orbiter and a lander could be sent to the distant moon, which lies more than 1 billion kilometres from the Sun.
Saturday Morning Science:
Surface tension of water in microgravity onboard the International Space Station.
(Feb. 19, 2003) --- Expedition Six NASA ISS Science Officer Don Pettit narrates video downlink of still images he took of droplet formations in water films while the films underwent oscillation.
Saturday Morning Science:
Astrophotography from the International Space Station.
(March 1, 2003) --- Expedition Six NASA ISS Science Officer Don Pettit narrates this video downlink of astrophotography images taken from the International Space Station.
