In space going to produce optical fiber. This product must be really unique and very valuable.
The company Made in Space is going to start to produce in space an optical fiber. For this purpose, the space station is already three-dimensional printer, which is able to perform the work.
Fibers are used in the electronic and information technology, he is the basis for data transmission. In space there is no gravity, and this means that it can be created by some materials, the production of which is not available on earth.
Fiber optics can be done on the ground, but the fact that the earth structure is not uniform, in consequence of which there are crystals, which degrade the conductivity in electronics.
Made in Space will begin production early next year. If everything goes smoothly, you get a really unique product in small quantity. Of course, in the beginning it will be very expensive, but as demand increases the price will fall.
In some areas where absolute accuracy is not enough such quality optical fiber,
