We are modifying materials by carrying out simple electrodeposition processes in low gravity. For example, when nickel metal is deposited on gold substrates in low gravity (orbiting shuttle, sounding rockets) in potentiostatically controlled cells at relatively high currents (~80 ma/cm2) the nickel properties become those of amorphous nickel. Electrodeposition of alloys such as Co/Ni in low gravity result in composition modification, and different properties relative to those for surfaces produced under the same condition on earth. Students plan, construct and prepare flight hardware for the low gravity missions, perform the necessary analysis of returned samples and make all necessary earth based comparison studies. Students are trained not only in the construction and operation of their own experiments, but must interact and communicate with mission experiment integration and testing engineers.
