The PAPELL experiment is a technology demonstrator for a pump without mechnically movable parts. This is achieved by moving a magnetizable liquid - ferrofluid - with the help of an electromagnet. Given mission success, such a maintenance-free pump could be used for long-term missions in space.

The experiment was developed and constructed by Students from Stuttgart in the span of one year.

The experiment will be presented and supervised by the German ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst.

At the launch event, you will hear exciting lectures about the Institute of Space Systems, the small satellite student society at the University of Stuttgart, and other experiments that will soon reach space through crewed missions.
