Cave 0g is a student project supported by the ESA Academy Experiments program, part of ESA Education and the University of Ljubljana.
Joined February 2025
Wrapping up the year with Cave0g 🎄 From flying our experiment to diving deep into data analysis, it’s been an intense and exciting journey. Thanks for following along. We’re excited to share more results and science with you in the new year! ✨

Control circuitry prototyping is underway! Here’s a quick update from Nejc, our electrical lead: After designing the circuit and picking out parts, it’s now being assembled on a prototype board. LEDs simulate signals that'll later connect to cameras, sonotrodes & Raspberry Pi.

Powering cavitation in microgravity: for our zero-g emulsification experiment, Hilscher’s ultrasonic sonotrodes are key. Compact, reliable, and powerful enough to generate the intense cavitation we need. Without them, none of this would be possible🫧✈️

️️📸 High-speed visualization It might look complex, but at its core, it’s just photography, but with a serious upgrade✨ Lens choice is key! The right combo of field of view and focal length can make or break the shot, it takes a good bit of trial and error to find the one
