Abstract: A number of low-gravity materials processing experiments, such as crystalgrowth studies, require a specialized optical system capable of flow visualization. A small prototype color schlieren imaging system has been developed and tested for application to materials processing in space (MPS) programs. The system was successfully constructed and subsequently tested on the NASA KC- 135 low-gravity aircraft. Design, construction and testing of a protoflight system based on the prototype experience will begin. This will include applications of improved filtering, real time image acquisition and temperature monitoring of the experiment sample. This work will provide a foundation for the flight hardware development.
