                         furnace, capable of producing temperatures up to 900 °C, which was 
                         tested with semiconductor and metal alloys. This paper describes 
                         the construction and performance of this furnace during the last 
                         suborbital flight, the Santa Branca Mission, which took place in 
                         2022. The solidification furnace is now qualified and ready to be 
                         used by other institutions for sounding rocket flights.",
