Vented tank resupply experiment

A vane type PMD was also used for the vented tank resupply experiment (VTRE) onboard the Shuttle mission STS-77 (Chato and Martin, 2006). Twelve outer and twelve inner vanes were mounted inside a small-scale see-through tank to conduct outflow tests using Refrigerant-113. A vane type PMD was also planned to be used in the Skylab mission (Tegart, 1979).
