Optical interferometric, shadowgraph, and streak photographic methods are used to obtain temperature profiles, concentration gradients, and fluid velocities in NH4Cl-H2O metal-model solution during unidirectional solidification in microgravity. This study elucidates earlier low gravity suborbital rocket experiments and lays the groundwork for space shuttle experiments. The design and operation of the optical units are presented, and results are detailed to ground based experiments. The low gravity experiments were conducted using a KC-135 aircraft flying a parabolic trajectory.
