Technical Abstract (Limit 2000 characters, approximately 200 words):

To meet NASA's goal of commercial in-space production of materials with a level of quality and performance superior to that on Earth, DSTAR Communications Inc. proposes to develop Space-Enhanced Crystals (SPECS). This customer-driven development is based on initial sales of Minimal Valuable Products (MVPs). The technology uses the microgravity-driven enhancement of crystal formation in microgravity in combination with a set of novel process controls to establish commercially sustainable manufacturing on board of the International Space Station (ISS). Phase I program is set to establish the feasibility of SPECS. Phase II program targets commercial crystal fabrication on ISS for the needs of the identified commercial customers. The program leverages a unique modular ISS manufacturing platform to maintain U.S. leadership in the area of commercial in-space production.
