                         fl ights, the Associate Laboratory of Sensors and Materials of the 
                         Brazilian Space Research Institute (LABAS/INPE) participated with 
                         a fast solidifi cation furnace, capable of producing temperatures 
                         up to 900 °C, which was tested with semiconductor and metal 
                         alloys. This paper describes the construction and the performance 
                         of that furnace during the last parabolic fl ight, Rio Verde
