Megan MacArthur, NASA's Mission 65 pilot to the International Space Station, works in the Zero Gravity Science Glove Box and exchanges samples for an experiment called Barrier Sealed Ampoule Coagulation, or SUBSA. The physics experiment investigates experimental methods for coagulating solutions in zero gravity and is expected to lead to reduced fluid movement in the solution, Which will allow for a better distribution of the components and the potential to improve the technology used to produce semiconductor crystals.
