Electrical Capacitance Volume Tomography (ECVT) is an electric based industrial imaging system. Its electric nature, low frequency, portability, safety, low profile sensors, and high imaging speed make it suitable for space applications of zero gravity. ECVT has already been applied to imaging Cryogenic Fuel Gauge in zero gravity environments. ECVT can also be used as an observation and control tool for scientific experiments in space. Examples of potential applications are imaging multi-phase flows in zero gravity, fuel tank observation in zero gravity, flow measurements, and combustion imaging. The feasibility of ECVT for real-time, 3D imaging of multi-phase flow systems have been established through tests exhibiting zero gravity conditions.
