Transcription: The 48th Shuttle mission was the first completely dedicated to better understanding zero gravity's effects on shuttle experiments and payloads. One of the mission's programs was the Glovebox Facility, which contained 16 experiments designed to explore zero gravity's impact on fluid dynamics, fire science, crystal growth, and technology demonstrations. One particular experiment examined the behavior of a candle flame in zero gravity. Another explored how bubbles react to the space environment. Using the information obtained in these and other experiments, developers of payloads and shuttle expe ...
