Two projects of a similar nature were conducted as part of the REXUS/BEXUS program. Both projects faced the challenge of capturing and monitoring specific scientific experiments under zero gravity conditions aboard a suborbital rocket. One experiment focused on the drilling process in microgravity, while the other explored the feasibility of using a jamming gripper for potential space applications.
In both cases, measurement chambers equipped with camera systems were specifically designed to capture high-quality imagery of the experiments. This setup enabled detailed analysis of the experimental processes, facilitating accurate evaluation and drawing meaningful conclusions about the results. The precision of the imagery was critical to understanding the experiments’ outcomes and advancing the research.
Imagery from the both experiments, provided valuable insights into the behavior of mechanical systems in space-like environments and contributed to the development of technologies for future space missions.
