Cahoon is a
Fellow of The American Society for Metals and has been very active in
micro-gravity research for over 10 years. He has made important breakthroughs
in understanding solidification
and liquid diffusion in micro-gravity environments on the MIR space station,
space shuttles, sounding rockets, and parabolic aircraft flights. His
research on the chemistry of materials solidified in micro-gravity will
use ESCA/Auger, SIMS and SPM and will help determine the viability of
processing of materials (such as repair welding of structures) stationed
in outer space.
