A team of engineers from the Air Force Research Laboratory, or AFRL’s, Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, The Ohio State University and NASA begin testing the potential for laser welding in space on a parabolic flight experiment at the Central Coast Jet Center in Santa Maria, Calif., Aug. 21, 2024. The experiment allowed 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.
