CANADIAN SPACE AGENCY FUNDED THIS PROJECT, WHICH REPRESENTS CANADIAN PARTICIPATION IN NEW FIELD OF MICROGRAPHIC RESEARCH.

Function

SAMPLES OF MATERIALS PRODUCED BY MATERIAL PROCESSING SYSTEM 910001 AT 0G, 1G & 2G. SYSTEM PROCESSES MATERIALS AT HIGH TEMPERATURES IN MICROGRAVITY & WAS USED ON NASA KC-135 FLIGHTS DURING WHICH SHORT PERIODS OF MICROGRAVITY (25 SECONDS) WERE EXPERIENCED, TO TEST PROCESS FOR FUTURE USE ON PLANNED U.S. SPACE STATION.

Technical

SAMPLES PRODUCED BY FIRST GENERATION MICROGRAVITY HIGH TEMPERATURE MATERIAL PROCESSING SYSTEM USED IN DEVELOPMENT OF NEW APPLIED TECHNOLOGY FOR USE IN SPACE. HAS SINCE BEEN REPLACED BY MORE FLEXIBLE AUTOMATICVERSION FOR FLIGHT ON CANADIAN T-33 AIRCRAFT; ANOTHER VERSION WAS DEVELOPED FORFLIGHT ON BLACK BRANT ROCKETS.
