A Researcher’s Guide to: Microgravity Materials Research

The book cover for the 2025 edition of the Microgravity Materials Research Researcher’s Guide

June 2025 Edition

Most materials are formed from a partially or totally fluid sample, and the transport of heat and mass from the fluid into the solid during solidification inherently influences the formation of the material and its resultant properties. The ISS provides a long-duration microgravity environment for conducting experiments that enables researchers to examine the effects...
