Abstract

We report results of aqueous foam experiments performed in the Maxus 6 sounding rocket, dealing both with technological and scientific issues. On the technological side, the performed tests concern the methods for controlled foam generation and destruction. On the scientific side, we present the results of an imbibition experiment, in which some liquid is injected into the foam and its propagation followed by electrical conductimetry. Comparisons with numerical simulations are made, evidencing a good agreement.
