The report presents a design study, within a specified envelope of resources, of laboratory for scientific research on fluid material in a space station, A survey of the scientific background of mlcrogravity experiments identifies candidate investigations. A structured description of available facilities, or earlier design studies, provides a background of engineering possibilities and data. Based on the supporting material on requirements, achievable engineering and feasible operations, a preliminary design concept of a Fluid Science Laboratory is outlined. Recommendations for additional studies, and conclusions are formulated
