AbstractThe Liquid Structure Facility (L.S.F.) is presently developed under ESA contract. This instrument will allow to perform a wide range of fluid science experiments taking use of the determination of the velocities, temperatures concentrations and also the interface shape deformations. This facility will be activated automatically or by telescience, or manually by the crew.The main drivers for the design of the L.S.F. were the different diagnostic configurations, the accurate control of the boundary conditions and the modularity of the facility. The L.S.F. is composed by four different modules:-the cell module which is exchangeable and dedicated to an experiment or to a group of experiments in order to achieve the accuracy level requested for the boundary conditions,-the thermal stability of the cell module is obtained by a liquid cooling loop,-the diagnostic module-the electronic module.
