Astronauts NASA published an interesting video, which depicted a water balloon, which they remove both outside and inside.
For this trick astronauts have adopted an action-GoPro camera in a waterproof housing. First, they shed water, which in consequence of the total absence of gravity remains to float in the air, and then scrupulously placed inside the ball chamber, continuing to shoot themselves and everything around. All the action takes place on the ISS.
The experience was conducted by the NASA astronauts Steve Swanson and Reid, Weisman in cooperation with European space Agency astronaut Alexander Gershom. Officially this is called the study of tension of water in microgravity on the ISS. But you can see how fun the astronauts, experimenting with water.
Not all experiments on the International space station pass so smoothly. Days.Ru wrote that the past experience with fire led to the fire. On the ISS, the astronauts conducted experiments to study combustion in microgravity. Wide experience they put it on fire a mixture of heptane and isooctane, thereby creating a fire.
Conducted onboard the ISS experience has led to the fire. The purpose of the experience called FLEX-2 (Flame Extinguishment Experiment - 2) was the study of the process of combustion in microgravity, methods of extinguishing it. On Board the spacecraft torch was noticeably different from the earth: he had no form drops, and broke up into a large number of fire balls. This phenomenon is explained by the weak gravity in earth orbit.
