Caption: As part of an effort to develop a system for monitoring the cleanliness of drinking water in space, researchers first conducted experiments on how to minimize bubbles in water samples in weightless conditions. Shown here is a dyed water sample with bubbles during the weightless portion of a flight aboard a NASA research airplane. The water quality monitoring system -- developed by Marc Porter, a University of Utah chemist -- was delivered to the International Space Station in August for six months of testing.
