Through experiments conducted in microgravity, a team of engineers from Purdue University, Air Squared Inc.,...

Regular supply launches keep astronauts aboard the ISS supplied with relatively fresh food, but a flight to Mars won’t get deliveries. If we’re going to visit other planets, we’ll need a fridge that doesn’t break down in space — and Purdue University researchers are hard at work testing one. You may think there’s nothing to […]

It's floaty floaty vom time as boffins plan prototype cooler spin on modded 727 Richard Speed Fri 16 Apr 2021 // 16:33 UTC Share Copy Boffins are set to get a ride on the Zero Gravity Corporation's "weightless research lab" to test a refrigerator designed for jaunts to orbit, the Moon or even Mars. The engineers from Purdue University, Air Squared and Whirlpool are working on a refrigerator that will function in different orientations as well as the one more suited to domestic kitchens on Earth. The idea is to give astronauts access to food not necessarily freeze-dried...

Listen to this article WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — For astronauts to go on long missions to the moon or Mars, they'll need a refrigerator. But today’s fridges aren’t designed to work in zero gravity – or upside down if oriented that way when a spacecraft lands on another planet. A team of engineers from Purdue University, Air Squared Inc., and Whirlpool Corporation is working on building a fridge for zero gravity that operates in different orientations and just as well as the one in your kitchen, giving astronauts access to longer-lasting and more nutritious food. In May, the ...

After more than six months, hundreds of millions of miles and what NASA technicians dubbed the final "seven minutes of terror," the NASA Perseverance Rover safely landed on Mars Thursday.
