Abstract
► A wicking of 60 mm liquid nitrogen was achieved with a ∼5 μm pore size metal mesh. ► The first reported liquid nitrogen wicking experiment in an open liquid nitrogen bath. ► Further investigation of using nano-structure for future liquid helium wicking. ► The technology significantly enhances the capillary performance in space environment. ► Enable next generation propellant management and thermal management in space.
