Whirlpool Corporation: Returning to Space,

the Final (Home Appliance) Frontier Whirlpool Corporation has a history of innovating appliances for the U.S. Space Program including creating the world’s first space kitchen and space food. The work that engineers in the Global Product Organization (GPO) continue to deliver for the U.S. space program is not only reaching the stars but could potentially reach the homes of consumers, too.

Last month, Whirlpool Corp. Sr. Principal Engineer Alberto Gomes spoke at The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Aerospace Conference — an event that promotes interdisciplinary understanding of aerospace systems, their underlying science and technology, and their application to government and commercial endeavors.

Gomes spoke on the Vapor Compression Refrigeration System for space exploration, sharing key findings and applications of this technology.

'Mysterious Flying Whirlpool' in the Sky Was Not a UFOA livecam at Hawaii's Subaru Telescope caught sight of a SpaceX second stage on April 17, 2022. It looks like a whirlpool near the left of the frame.

SpaceX has been launching missions at a rapid clip this year. The telescope team called the whirlpool sighting rare, but there could be more of these fun views caught on camera as Falcon 9 launches become ever more routine.
