Forensic Science in Space
A new study conducted aboard the 'Vomit Comet' simulates blood splatters in space to understand forensic science in microgravity. The study reveals that blood in space behaves differently and has implications for future space investigations.
Key Points
- Blood in space is more likely to stick to surfaces due to lack of gravitational influence
- Blood drops exhibit different shapes and sizes in microgravity
- Implications for future forensic investigations in space
Pros
- Understanding how blood behaves in space can aid in future space investigations
- Research contributes to the emerging field of astroforensics
Cons
- Limited practical applications currently for space forensic science
