Space processing payload experiment requirements

An overview is given of the definition of research requirements and derivation of engineering design requirements for a group of 77 representative applications of space processing. Representative requirements are documented for applied research in space on biological processes, chemical/fluid phenomena, solidification processes, and glass/ceramics processes. Design requirements for payload equipment to accommodate these research requirements are presented in engineering terms, such as power requirements, schematic diagrams, etc. In addition, a summary of the 77 applied research topics is included.
