Gas Bubbles

Caption

NASA’s TechLeap Prize competition selected an SwRI/UTSA team to develop an electrolyzer through its Space Technology Payload Challenge. This gif illustrates how gas bubbles form and move at different rates at Earth (top), Martian (middle) and Lunar (bottom) gravity. Building on this earlier SwRI-led research, the team will flight test a UTSA-developed electrolyzer technology designed to improve the production of propellants and life-support compounds on other worlds.
