NASA to Launch Experiments of Indian Students

She submitted two experiments that she called “To stick or not to stick” and “Time and pressure”.

The first experiment is about studying how different adhesives are likely to behave in space in the absence of atmospheric pressure. For this, Ms. Pai used a thermocol cube of 12 pieces in which each corner was stuck using a different kind of adhesive such as modelling clay, wax, cello tape, metal wire, thread, school glue and super glue.

The second involves two tiny bottles — one made of plastic and the other of glass — sealed with a modelling clay cork and placed in a cube.

The experiment will focus on how the bottles react to lack of atmospheric pressure: Will they disintegrate, get damaged or remain intact?

Once the experiments are back from space and mailed to her, Pai intends to begin research on the effects, film the results and mail them back to NASA.
