External and internal environmental effects on experiments in a zero or microgravity field in a space laboratory in orbit are assessed and discussed. These disturbing effects include the nonuniformity of the gravity field, the oblateness of the earth, Newtonian attraction forces, ellipticity of orbit, vehicle control and orientation, and aerodynamic forces and solar pressure. Information is presented on the residual gravity which must be taken into account. It is concluded that the microgravity environment can be minimized by placing the experimental location as close as possible to the center of mass of the space lab and orbital path. Otherwise, appropriate orientation in space may be helpful. For minimizing aerodynamic and solar pressure effects, reduced area-to-mass ratios are useful, while a drag-free laboratory may be achieved with the aid of an active thrusting system.
