Summary
[edit]
| Description | Some materials are more easily produ ced in space and to a higher degree of refinement, as seen in this comparison of electron microscope views of monodisperse latex particles made on Shuttle flight STS-6 in April 1983. Space-produced, 10-micron latex particles (top photo), from the batch to be offered commercially later this year by the National Bureau of Standards, are identical. Using the same chemical recipe and identical experiment hardware, the particles made on Earth under the influence of gravity (bottom photo) are deformed, off-sized or show other imperfections. | |||
