| dc.description.abstract | A study of available nonterrestrial materials, general processing methods for those materials, and a specific study of centrifugal phase separation is presented in this report. Nonterrestrial materials studied are the moon and near earth asteroids. The environment in which the processing of these materials takes place is studied as well as a summary of several proposed processes. The feasibility and differences of centrifugal phase separation in space as compared to gravity separation is analyzed. The major conclusion of the centrifugal phase separation study is that all phase separations possible on earth are possible by use of centrifuges in space. Modifications of terrestrial designs are discussed. | en |
