A liquid bridge of 15.0 mm length L and 3.0 mm radius r (aspect ratio A = L/r = 5) from 2 cSt silicone oil (Pr = 28) was established under microgravity during the flight of the sounding rocket MAXUS-4. Four different temperature differences ΔT = 7K, 9K, 10K, 12K have been applied between the ends, each for sufficient time to reach steady state thermocapillary flow conditions. The aim of the experiment - to observe the onset of hydrothermal waves and to measure their features like the waves phase speed and the angle between the wave vector and the applied temperature gradient - was reached. We used microgravity in this experiment in a twofold manner; (1) a liquid bridge with A = 5 can be established only under microgravity; (2) it was possible to study hydrothermal waves without the influence of gravity and without the aspect ratio restrictions at normal gravity.
