and conductivity testing

NASA, Cleveland June 2011-

August 2011

Student Intern-Material Science Department

. Topic of my research was "Abrasion of Space suit Fabrics with Lunar

Simulant." We wanted to find a way to duplicate the damage done to the

space suit after 9 hours of atmosphere contact here on earth, so in

return we can find a material strong enough to withstand the aggressive

abrasion of lunar particles.

. The center of my research was an apparatus( horizontal 6 inch rotation

disk, with two vertical 4 inch rotation disk on top(one clockwise, and

another counter clockwise), with weights pulling back the wheels so an

equal amount of pressure is distributed evenly throughout the surface.

Which I had to calibrate when needed to change the specifications of the

testing.
