Drop Dynamics Experiments
As I was putting this chapter together, I had difficulty documenting the various drop dynamics experiments that have been conducted by astronauts in various Earth-orbiting (zero-<math>g</math>) environments. Here is the relevant information I found:
- Skylab 3 and 4 (circa 1973-1974): Experiments showing the fission of liquid drops were evidently conducted during both the Skylab 3 and Skylab 4 missions.
- As has been documented in a short film review written by Howard Voss and published in the American Journal of Physics (44/10, 1021, Oct 1976), film footage from a variety of Skylab experiments was produced by NASA, edited by Thomas Campbell & Robert Fuller, and, beginning in 1976, distributed as 12 Super 8 film loops by the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT).
- As is documented in A Teacher's Guide for the Skylab Physics Videodisc the content of all 12 Super 8 film loops was made available for distribution in Videodisc format in 1987 through the AAPT.

According to the accompanying Teacher's Guide, the activities shown in the above-referenced films were carried out by three teams of Skylab Astronauts: |
