Illinois researchers are embarking on a new phase of their program to explore manufacturing in space. This initiative aims to investigate the potential and feasibility of producing materials and products beyond Earth, which could have significant implications for various industries.

The research team will focus on understanding how microgravity conditions can be leveraged for manufacturing processes that might be challenging or impossible under Earth's gravity. This exploration is expected to open new avenues for innovation and development in space-based technologies.
