X-RISE-M X-ray instrument for the sounding rocket MAPHEUS
With X-ray radiography, a wide range of material processes can be studied in situ. This includes the solidification of metallic melts, or the diffusion dynamics in the liquid phase, and ranges up to structure-dynamics investiations in granular matter. X-RISE-M allows to perform such experiments in weightlessness, on a sounding rocket flight. During weightlessness, unwanted gravitation-driven effects like sedimentation can be systematically excluded.
