Microgravity science and applications: Program tasks and bibliography for FY 1992

Abstract

This report is a compilation of the FY 1992 Principal Investigator program task descriptions funded by the Microgravity Science and Applications Division (MSAD), NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC. The document also provides a bibliography of FY 1992 publications and presentations cited by MSAD Principal Investigators, and an index of the Principal Investigators and their affiliations. The purpose of the document is to provide an overview and progress report for the funded tasks for scientists and researchers in industry, university, and government communities. The tasks are grouped into three categories appropriate to the type of research being done-space flight, ground based, and advanced technology development-and by science discipline. The science disciplines are: biotechnology, combustion science,, electronic materials, fluid physics, fundamental physics, glass and ceramics, metals and alloys, and protein crystal growth.
