UMass Aids Spacecraft Sterilization Effort
University of Massachusetts researchers led by Prof. Charles R. Stumbo are refining a vapor phase sterilization method using heat and ethylene oxide to sterilize metal food containers for spacecraft. The process, supported by a $23,520 HEW grant, achieves results similar to a 135 C liquid immersion but in 100 C for one minute, offering safer, faster sterilization for exploration missions.
