A review was made of equipment designed for use in experiments with technological operations on board spacecraft during Soviet manned space missions. Experiments with molten metal on Soyuz 6 in October 1969 are indicated as an example of such operations. Particular attention is given to the difficulties encountered in simulation of the various adverse forces and factors which must be dealt with and counteracted during the performance of industrial work in a space environment. Investigations showed that the best space vacuum simulation could be achieved in large vacuum chambers whose dimensions match those of the equipment to be simulated and tested. Several test stands developed in the Soviet Union for this purpose are described. (Author)
