NASA has developed a compact laser light-scattering instrument that employs both static and dynamic light-scattering techniques for microgravity research. The first use of this instrument was to study the behavior of colloidal hard spheres in a reduced gravity environment during the Second United States Microgravity Laboratory space shuttle mission. We discuss the instrument design and possible improvements based on our observations of significant differences between hard-sphere behavior in Earth's gravity and microgravity.
美国国家航空航天局（NASA）研制了一种紧凑型激光光散射仪器，该仪器采用静态和动态光散射技术进行微重力研究。该仪器的首次应用是在第二次美国微重力实验室航天飞机任务期间，研究在微重力环境下胶体硬球的行为。基于我们对地球重力和微重力环境下硬球行为显著差异的观察，我们讨论了仪器设计以及可能的改进措施。
