| Description | Activities of the Materials Processing in Low Gravity Program in which the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) designed, fabricated, and performed various low gravity experiments in materials processing between October 26, 1988 through October 25, 1989 are discussed. Details of low gravity experiments using the Drop Facilities at the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) and the KC-135 aircraft at Ellington Field are discussed. This effort included the defining of experimental requirements and equipment, experiment-facility integration requirements, building/assembling the necessary experiment apparatus, and conducting experiments which will contribute to the knowledge base for commercialization of materials processing in low gravity. UAH also performed logistical support needed to execute the experimentation, the necessary sample preparation, metallography analysis, and physical properties measurements of the processed samples. |
