Delta Faucet Company Joins Forces with CASIS and ZIN to Investigate Water Activity in Microgravity

Social

Delta Faucet Company has announced its partnership with the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS), in collaboration with the International Space Station U.S. National Laboratory, to study the formation of water droplets, water flow and pressure in microgravity.

The experiment will leverage Delta Faucet Company’s proprietary H2OKinetic® Technology to shed light on water flow in microgravity and how to deliver an enhanced shower experience for consumers.

ZIN Technologies will develop this experiment as a CASIS implementation partner for Delta Faucet Company. Delta Faucet plans to launch the microgravity investigation from Wallops Island Flight Facility in Virginia as early as November 2018.

Once the testing is complete, the same study will be conducted on Earth in order to compare results. ZIN Technologies was acquired by Voyager Space in March 2023.
