Abstract
The chapter provide introduction and need of solid dosage forms for space pharmaceuticals. It discusses various drugs and excipients which can be utilized in these solid dosage forms. The chapter further emphasis on important formulation development aspects of solid dosage forms. It discusses important analytical characterization techniques utilized in solid dosage forms. Overall, solid dosage forms are key to space travel due to long-term stability advantage it offers in space conditions.
