    Description: The Observation and Analysis of Smectic Islands in Space (OASIS) project comprises a series of experiments that probe the interfacial and hydrodynamic behavior of thin spherical bubbles of smectic liquid crystal in microgravity. Smectic films are the thinnest known structures formed of condensed phases, making them ideal for studies of two-dimensional (2D) coarsening dynamics and thermocapillary phenomena. The OASIS flight hardware was launched on SpaceX-6 in April 2015 and experiments were carried out on the International Space Station using four different smectic A and C liquid crystal materials in separate sample chambers. We will describe the behavior of collective island dynamics on the bubbles, including temperature-gradient-induced thermomigration, 2D Rayleigh-Plateau Instability, Oswald ripening dynamics, the single and multiple island diffusion on the curved surface and coalescence-driven coarsening dynamics of island emulsions in microgravity. On Earth, such island emulsions would rapidly sediment to the bottom of the bubble and coalesce, but in microgravity, coarsening of the emulsion can be observed free of gravitational effects.

    Description: High School students United with NASA to Create Hardware (HUNCH) partners NASA centers with high schools and middle schools in states across the nation. The HUNCH program is a school-based innovative program that promotes student interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. While students are building hardware, softgoods, prototypes, or experiments for NASA, they are also building their interest as researchers, as well as their self-confidence. The 2015-2016 school year marks the 13th year of the HUNCH program while this is the second year of the HUNCH program at NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC). This year GRC partnered with 6 schools where students built various components needed to assemble International Space Station Single Stowage Locker flight hardware. In addition, Glenn worked with a new school on the Softgoods program and hosted all 7 schools along with 4 Design and Prototype schools with a recognition ceremony and tours at NASA Glenns Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, OH. Highlights from the work that the GRC schools did throughout the school year will be presented.
