The Materials Science Research Facility(MSRF) is a facility to accommodate the current and evolving cadre of peer-reviewed Materials Science investigations which include solidification of metals and alloys, thermophysical properties, polymers, crystal growth studies of semiconductor materials, and research in ceramics and glasses.... The MSRF consists of three modular autonomous Materials Science Research Racks(MSRR-1, MSRR-2, MSRR-3) which will be deployed in phases and will accommodate materials processing furnaces and common subsystems and interfaces required to operate the furnaces. Each MSRR is a stand-alone rack that will use ARIS [Active Rack Isolation System]. Each will be comprised of either on-orbit replaceable Experiment Modules(EMs), Modules Inserts(MIs), Investigation-unique Apparatus, and/or Multi-used generic processing apparatus, and will support a wide variety of scientific investigations.

Three Materials Science Research Racks will be a major portion of the U.S. Laboratory facilities. The European Space Agency will provide the core for the Experiment Module that will occupy the right half of the rack and will house five insert modules. NASA and ESA [European Space Agency] each will provide two inserts, and the German Space Agency (DLR) will provide a fifth. Each of the five inserts will be a furnace to process materials in different ways, such as melting and freezing a sample from one end to the other (directional solidification) or quenching a sample quickly to "freeze" its condition. The German insert will be a special furnace that uses a rotating magnetic field to control flows within the molten samples. The left half of the rack will be occupied for nine months by equipment from NASA’s Space Products Development Division, before it is made available to microgravity science researchers. The Experiment Modules and their inserts will be replaceable in orbit, so an entire rack will not have to be returned to Earth. There will be a single experiment module in each rack with the experiment support systems taking the left half of the rack and an Experiment Module taking the right half of the rack.
