Important issues: Mass gauging; Stability dynamics of disconnected capillary surfaces; Slow capillary driven flow (i.e. wicking); Long-term material property evolution in micro-g; Dumping problem with freezing of dump lines.
The plan for session are: 1. Are issues in the draft document appropriate and complete? 2. Are the issues properly organized and prioritized? 3. Is the plan well defined and suitable? 4. Are the proposed facilities adequate?
Motion of ball in liquid indicates acceleration. Passive accelerometer measures small accelerations along cylindrical axis. Principle of operation based on Stokes' law. Provides accurate measurements of small quasi-steady accelerations. Additional advantage, automatically integrates out unwanted higher-frequency components of acceleration.
