Abstract

Payload systems for processing chemical substances under various gravity levels, such as hypergravity and/or microgravity. The payload systems may include a hypergravity thermal payload system configured to enable melt or cooling of a sample under hypergravity. Alternatively, or in addition, the payload systems may include a gravity-independent thermal payload system for enabling melt or cooling of a sample under various gravity levels, such as microgravity. Alternatively, or in addition, the payload systems may include a hypergravity crystallization payload system configured to enable crystallization of a chemical substance under hypergravity. Alternatively, or in addition, the payload systems may include a gravity-independent crystallization system configured to enable crystallization of a chemical substance in various gravity levels, such as microgravity.
