Student projects focus on two main research areas. The studies involve the angle of repose, which is the steepest angle at which regolith remains stable and is vital for exploration. Additionally, students are examining various baffle designs and tank shapes to manage fuel movement during space flights.

The experiment constructs a functional model to examine the distribution of gas in fuel tanks and the dispersion of CO2 within this analog. By employing an Arduino kit and high-sensitivity, high-resolution CO2 sensors, students will assess the impact of gravity on various gases with different atomic masses contained within a vessel.
