An analysis was conducted of three KC-135 flight samples that had been solidified in near-zero gravity. These samples had been generated during near-zero gravity testing of M553 experiment Skylab flight hardware. The samples evaluated were all Star-J Satellite, a cobalt base alloy. The analytical procedures (optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, electron microprobe, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and microhardness) to be use on the Skylab flight samples were optimized and the analytical results are presented.
