	The Soviet Union has apparently grown gallium arsenide (GaAs)
	and other optoeletronic compunds and heterostructures in
	space. A Washington D.C> research firm came across a 1984
	study "factors influencing the liquid epitaxy process in zero
	gravity and in earth conditions" for gallium arsenide. Salut
	6 and 7, as well as earlier Soviet space labs have carried
	materials growth and characterization batch processing
	furnaces.
