Microscopy & Microanalytical Support for NASA's Microgravity Materials Science Programs
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2018
Extract
The Materials Science Program of NASA's Office of Biological and Physical Research (OB PR) has attacked futidamental problems of materials science as defined by an external advisory group, known as the Discipline Working Group (DWG). These have been:
• Nucleation and Metastable States
• Prediction and Gontrol of Micrestructures
• Crystal Growth and Detect Generation
• Phase Separation and Interfacial Phenomena
• Thermophysical Properties and Process Modeling.
While the program's primary objectives are science-based and despite the fact that 90% of these programs concentrate on pre-cursor and theoretical research on the ground, NASA demands that there be a microgravity rationale driving the research.
