Reduced Gravity Cryo-Tracker^® System

·         Lightweight, low power sensor, designed to detect liquid-vapor interfaces in reduced-gravity environments

·         Eliminates false readings from liquid drops or films in a reduced gravity environment by driving liquid away from sensing surface using capillary forces

·         Detects liquid slosh for validating CFD codes

·         Validated in water in a reduced-gravity environment on a zero-g flight

·         Response time validated in water and liquid nitrogen in 1-g

·         Response time between 0.1 to 0.3 seconds

·         Capable of measuring fluid temperature

·         Mountable in strips or through-wall

·         Patent pending
