Microencapsulation of Drugs in tne Microgravity Environment of the United States Space Shuttle.

Abstract

Equipment has been designed to produce pharmaceutical microcapsules in a microgravitational environment. The Management information system equipment is designed to replace two storage lockers located on the middeck of the United States Space Shuttle. A working prototype of the Management information system equipment has been constructed and tested aboard NASA's microgravity research aircraft. Subsystems of the Management information system equipment have been optimized as results of bench testing of the subsystems are obtained. Construction of two flight ready models of the Management information system equipment and integration of the Management information system experiment into the NASA system for manifesting consideration has been started.
