ESA says farewell to Fluid Science Laboratory after 18 years in orbit
Original: Farewell to the Fluid Science Laboratory after 18 years in orbit
The European Space Agency has announced the end of the Fluid Science Laboratory, an experiment facility that spent 18 years operating in orbit aboard the International Space Station. Over nearly two decades it supported research into fluid behaviour in microgravity, contributing to studies on heat transfer, colloids and materials science. The agency's message serves as a tribute to the laboratory's long scientific career and marks the close of a significant chapter in Europe's microgravity research programme.
Why now: The European Space Agency has just announced the retirement of a long-serving orbital laboratory, prompting reflection on its 18 years of scientific contributions.
