Visitors to the NASA Task Book can view project descriptions, annual progress, final reports, and bibliographical listings of publications resulting from NASA-funded studies in Space Biology, Physical Sciences, and Human Research. Visitors can also learn about the potential impact of these studies and the anticipated benefits that such research could offer to Earth.

This project aims to study and predict the microscale patterns that develop in solidification of pure and alloy systems in microgravity, and investigate and compare the effect of solid-liquid interface anisotropy in microgravity and terrestrial conditions. A multiscale computational framework integr...

In this project, we will leverage the rich microgravity data set in NASA’s PSI system to predict burning behavior of solid materials in partial gravity. The microgravity data will be complemented by the normal gravity data collected in previous and new experiments. In normal gravity when ambient pre...
