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 1 of 2) In this experiment Expedition Six NASA ISS Science Officer Don Pettit demonstrates the surface tension of water.
Soldering iron and water in microgravity onboard the International Space Station.
(April 12, 2003) -- Expedition Six NASA ISS Science Officer Don Pettit performs a water surface tension experiment with a soldering iron, producing convection patterns. This is another installment of Pettit's ongoing series of Saturday Morning Science.
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.
