Description

In this paper we present the first observations on dust particles growth and behavior under microgravity conditions obtained in the PKE-Nefedov chamber by a French-German-Russian program. These experiments have been performed on board of the International Space Station (ISS) in late october by a French-Russian cosmonauts team. Some of the results are discussed and compared with on ground experiments
