Cloud Seeding in Microgravity
Project Lead:
Dr. Ashraf Farahat
Platform:
Experiment onboard of the International Space Station (ISS)
Objective:
To create rain under microgravity conditions through testing the nucleation process in microgravity through the condensation of water vapor on salt particles in a controlled environment.
Expected Projects Outcomes:
Effective method to create artificial rain in future human settlements on the Moon and on Mars.
It will also help researchers to develop new cloud seeding techniques, which will enhance our ability to generate artificial rain on Earth.
Design & development:
By IRC-Researcher with support from Saudi Space Commission (SSC)
