ABSTRACT:
The apparatus for mixing two or more liquids in the microgravity environment of space consists of a rigid tube containing seals and valves defining a series of separate chambers to accommodate experimental liquid specimens. Upon controlled actuation in a syringe-like fashion, the valves open passages between the chambers, allowing the liquids to flow and mix, following a predetermined sequence. Compactness of the apparatus permits many such devices to be accommodated in a relatively small volume in the carrying spacecraft.
