- Abstract
The Paper presents the conditions and perspectives for cost efficient production of super pure medicine, biological substances and materials for electronics in space. Tendency of global warming and crisis of power resources drives the necessity of moving high power consuming and "dirty" productions not requiring heavy traffic to space. Along with technical problems (microgravity conditions, vacuum, power resources, crew support for technical facilities, traffic, etc.), the Paper deals with international legal aspects of space industrialization (such as licensing, property rights, etc.).
