The International Space Station is a one-of-a-kind orbiting platform in low Earth orbit that is capable of enabling research and technology development not possible on Earth. Through its unique vantage point, and constant microgravity environment, the space station has supported thousands of research experiments over its more than 20 years orbiting our planet. One of the areas that has brought tremendous promise and intrigue is through in-space production applications, wherein the space station can drive the design of new or enhanced products that may be sold on Earth and facilitate the development of a robust and sustainable market in space. This session will focus on the production of optical fibers grown onboard the space station, and how this could open new avenues of business to support companies within the aerospace, communications, and defense industries.
