Description

The unique effect of the orbital zero- and low-g environment upon the behavior of liquids offers the potential of new material processing techniques not feasible under terrestrial conditions. A number of promising processes and the related product capabilities are discussed in detail. On the basis of an evaluation of process effectiveness and facility requirements, an example for a potential three-phase space experiment program is presented.
