The main outcome of the proposed flight tests is the validation of a novel elec-tro-hydrodynamic (EHD) technology for the field and flow driven concentration and removal of air bubbles from fluids in a microgravity environment. If successful, flight tests should validate the EHD method and provide critical data for the development of EHD devices to control, manipulate, and separate bubbles in a wide range of space technologies prioritized in the NASA Space Technology Roadmap, Technology Area 06 "Human Health, Life Support and Habitation Systems" and Technology Area 14 "Thermal Management Systems."
