The existing facilities and procedures for materials processing in space are described. The role of NASA and the government in stimulating the commercialization of space are discussed. The physics of the different experiments is studied in order to identify the relationship between power and time. A list of the physical and engineering requirements for proposed materials processing payloads is presented. The use of the Space Shuttle and Space Station for materials processing experiments and the development of techniques to realize the full potential of the Shuttle and Station capabilities are examined. NASA provides drop tube and drop tower facilities for research on materials and low gravity materials experiments are being conducted using aircraft in parabolic flight. The applications of the Materials Experiment Assembly, the Spacelab module, the Shuttle middeck, and Get-Away Special for materials processing are considered.
