Agnirva Space Premier League - Expedition #31947: Qucopartex - Precious

The Qucopartex - Precious experiment, developed by the Aurora Group in Slovenia and led by Matija Bericic, delves into the properties of materials in space. Conducted during multiple ISS expeditions (55/56, 57/58, 59/60, 61/62, 63), this experiment explored how materials behave in microgravity, particularly the precious materials that could play a vital role in future space missions. Understanding the physical properties of these materials is essential for developing more efficient technologies and structures for space habitats, spacecraft, and equipment. The Qucopartex experiment contributes to the broader goal of ensuring sustainability and resource management in long-duration space exploration, where materials such as metals, composites, and alloys need to perform under extreme conditions.
