How do drops form in water? Experiment in space will reveal the science

In a bid to understand the formation of droplets, the European Space Agency has embarked on a groundbreaking research project known as Dropcoal. The Dropcoal device was not the only experiment aboard the Airbus 310 Zero Gravity aircraft during the parabolic flight. A German aerospace center DLR experiment also focused on how two droplets approach each other and the initial moments when they merge. Following the successful parabolic flight, Dropcoal experiments are set to run on the International Space Station as part of an ESA mission in 2024.
