The Liquid Motion Experiment (LME) hardware was designed to rotate liquid filled containers in microgravity. Liquid was placed into the sphere and cylindrical shaped containers which were mounted to the circular tabletop surface. Rotation was provided by an electric motor that rotated the drive pedestal shaft which, in turn, rotated the fluid containers. Data was collected by a computer system; visual data was collected by a video camera which was mounted next to the liquid containers.
