AFRL, The Ohio State University, NASA test viability of laser welding in space

A laser welding system, the subject of a parabolic flight experiment, is loaded onto an airplane at the Central Coast Jet Center in Santa Maria, Calif., Aug. 21, 2024. The experiment, which was conducted by a team of engineers from the Air Force Research Laboratory, or AFRL’s, Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, The Ohio State University and NASA, allows engineers and scientists to understand the different behavior of materials and performance of equipment under space conditions by simulating the microgravity environment of a low earth orbit.
