Microgravity Manufacturing

Microgravity manufacturing involves producing products in space environments where Earth's gravity is virtually absent. This unique condition reduces the effects of gravity-related forces such as sedimentation and convection, allowing for highly precise and pure materials. Industries like pharmaceuticals, advanced alloys, and advanced fiber optics benefit from this environment by creating superior products that are difficult or impossible to make on Earth. The reduced gravity enables better control over material processes, leading to higher quality, innovative materials, and new manufacturing techniques that can be transferred back to Earth or used in space-based applications.
