                         under microgravity conditions was investigated by using a 3 m 
                         length drop tube. The Bi-In-Sn system is an important material for 
                         lead-free solder and fuse element for electrical protection. It 
                         has a low eutectic melting temperature of 60ºC, which is suitable 
                         for experiments in restricted environments like the International 
                         Space Station (ISS), where the security requirements are very 
                         strict. Droplets, with diameters in the range of 200 to 400 
                         \m, solidified under microgravity, were obtained 
                         consistently with irregular ternary eutectic structure, whereas, 
                         previous results under normal gravity presented both regular 
                         lamellar and irregular structures.",
