The availability status (as of November 1985) of NASA space and ground facilities for commercial materials-processing activities is surveyed. The organizational structure of the agencies managing these activities is outlined; ongoing joint-endeavor agreements are listed and described; the legal procedures involved are considered; the capabilities and limitations of the Shuttle middeck and cargo bay and the Hitchhiker module are characterized; experiments using the Drop Tower are examined; and the Industrial Guest Investigator program is reviewed. Extensive drawings, diagrams, and tables are provided.
