This paper presents a description of the design and ensuing development of an automated liquid droplet generator and related utilization aboard the space shuttle, a) as a fluid positioning system for materials processing (attached droplet method), and b) as a means to measure surface oscillation of droplets under microgravity for determining their surface tension.
