Description:
The following types of experiments for a proposed Space Station Microgravity Particle Research Facility are described: (1) rheology of assemblies of inelastic, frictional particles; (2) grain dynamics in zero gravity; (3) properties of tenuous fractal aggregates; (4) orientation of weakly ferroelectric dust grains; (5) supersonic nozzle beam; and (6) some astrophysical cluster experiments. The required capabilities and desired hardware for the facility are detailed.
