Ing. Hans Huber Co-Investigators (titles, etc.): Andreas Vogler, dipl. Arch ETH GOAL: To test whether the NET works in microgravity and to find out what improvements of the prototypes can be made. OBJECTIVE: To provide the crews of space stations and other space vehicles with a device to enable them to collect trash in an easy and timesaving manner. INTRODUCTION: The devices to collect trash in zero-G as known to the principal investigator have different disadvantages. If you have to open a lid, collected trash can flow out. If you have to press trash through an opening which is covered with rubber lips, pressure sensitive trash (i.e. a cotton pad full of liquid) pollutes the collecting device and the environment. The NET avoids these disadvantages. You can open it to such an extent that the opening is fit for the trash you are disposing and other trash can not float out. You do not have to press trash through rubber lips. The trash bag covers the closing elements of the device and protects them from pollution.

GOAL:<br />

To test whether the NET works in microgravity and to find out what improvements of the prototypes can be<br />

made.<br />

OBJECTIVE:<br />

To provide the crews of space stations and other space vehicles with a device to enable them to collect<br />

trash in an easy and timesaving manner.<br />

INTRODUCTION:<br />

The devices to collect trash in zero-G as known to the principal investigator have different disadvantages. If<br />

you have to open a lid, collected trash can flow out. If you have to press trash through an opening which is<br />

covered with rubber lips, pressure sensitive trash (i.e. a cotton pad full of liquid) pollutes the collecting<br />

device and the environment.<br />

The NET avoids these disadvantages. You can open it to such an extent that the opening is fit for the trash<br />

you are disposing and other trash can not float out. You do not have to press trash through rubber lips.<br />

The trash bag covers the closing elements of the device and protects them from pollution.
