... The development of the basic technologies that would enhance the capabilities of future Space Station investigations ~ also unportant.

... This permits a category of experunents that are difficult on Earth, involving colloidal or dusty plasmas as well as certain technology studies involving such effects as breakdown of insulation in mists. Additionally, levitation of components for achieving various boundary conditions or magnetic fields is sunplified, possibly leading to previously unattainable field topologies.

... · The large-scale sizes available in space, already mentioned above in the context of enabling experunents involving long interaction lengths, will also peanut much greater diagnostic access than in ground-based experunents. The workshop participants, after developing basic evaluation criteria, described nine very broad exper~rnent categories that could effectively be addressed by the Plasma Processes Laboratory.
