2024年8月27日 · This page provides information regarding the mini-laboratory used for experiments on SSEP Mission 19 to ISS — the Nanoracks Fluids Mixing Enclosure (FME) Mark II Mini-Laboratory, which Nanoracks has also referred to as a “Mixture Tube” or “MixStik”.

Communities interested in exploring participation in SSEP Mission 1 to ISS will be excited to learn that the Fluids Mixing Enclosure (FME) mini-lab being used for SSEP on ISS has dramatically more capability than the Materials Dispersion Apparatus …

Fluids Mixing Enclosure (FME) Kits – You Get the Real Flight Hardware and Load It for Flight to ISS As part of the Baseline Program Cost, each participating community will receive a package of five Fluids Mixing Enclosure (FME) Kits, each Kit providing all the parts for the assembly and loading of a flight certified Type 1, Type 2, or Type 3 FME.

2018年8月26日 · Q1: What is the temperature of the FME while the experiment is being conducted on ISS? The experiments in the SSEP payload will experience the ambient conditions of the ISS, with a temperature of 21-24°C (70-75°F) – a shirtsleeve environment.

2018年10月28日 · On this page you will find all the specifications for the mini-lab, a description of its straightforward operation, and all the constraints on your experimental design, including constraints due to the time it takes from shipping of your experiment to Houston, to arrival and operation on ISS, to return to Earth.

For the purposes of the SSEP, tests done by the student teams can answer simple questions such as “Do the samples fit in the FME experiment volumes?”, “Can I obtain the samples I need?”, “Will the seed germinate in the time the FME is aboard the ISS?” – questions that would not be possible to answer by just thinking about them.

2020年7月20日 · In this study, Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) were exposed to microgravity conditions on the International Space Station (ISS) within the confines of a Fluid Mixing Enclosure (FME). Return of the FME yielded 72,050 live nematodes, the first demonstration of C. elegans survival of space travel in an FME.

This Guide provides students an understanding of how to complete and submit a SSEP flight experiment proposal for Mission 11 to the International Space Station (ISS). This Guide includes a description of the required sections for a proposal, including the objectives and content to be addressed in each section.

2025年1月27日 · The Fluids Mixing Enclosure (FME) Mini-Laboratory (also called the Nanoracks MixStik or the mini-lab) is being used for SSEP Missions to the International Space Station.

2023年2月16日 · The experiments traveling to the ISS had to follow strict constraints with one of those being that the experiment must fit into a very small container called a Fluid Mixing Enclosure (FME). The Lufkin team prepared two FME …
