Description
An important element of the U.S. Space Station will be NASA's Microgravity and Materials Processing Facility (MMPF). The MMPF will be a national facility dedicated to extended periods of low-g processing of materials for research, development, and commercial applications.
Processing materials and equipment will be supplied by NASA, academic institutions, and U.S. domestic concerns.
This paper describes the results to date of a study to define both individual experiments and represented complements of experiments and their impact on Space Station design and operations.
