In the second half of this decade, the USA plans to deploy a Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) space station. To make this mission a reality, many of the technical limitations due to the extremely tight tolerances needed to minimize the probability of failure, need to be resolved. The limitations of the materials, instruments, and systems have their roots in chemistry. We will review certain aspects of the space sciences that can be addressed by chemistry and when answered will help power the next great leap in sustainable LEO space living and beyond.
