Experiment Overview
Determine the effect of changes in pressure temperature & gravity on the neo-Newtonian fluid substance (silly putty).

Experiment Description & Goal

A sample of silly putty will be placed in a closed clear container with a grid marked on it to observe physical changes in size, shape etc. in the substance during the flight.

Our goal is to determine if silly putty can be used in space travel based on physical changes in the material during flight. Currently there is no research related to using neo-Newtonian substances (silly putty) in space.
