Prospects for materials processing in space are addressed. The types of materials that are of the most commercial interest in this regard are examined, and the relevant microgravity facilities and technologies are discussed. The characteristics of the Space Shuttle and the Free Flyer with regard to materials processing in space are briefly considered. The principal manufacturers and consumers of space-processed products are described. The potential impact of these products is assessed.
