Abstract

The probable effects of rarefied atmosphere and near-zero gravity conditions that prevail in space, in relation to electrochemical experiments, are briefly discussed. The various space electrophoresis experiments are reviewed and discussed. Some possible additional electrochemical experiments are suggested.
