Abstract

NASA has developed a compact and versatile laser light scattering instrument for microgravity research. This instrument was used in the first experiment to gather data on the behavior of hard sphere systems in a reduced gravity environment. The Colliodal Disorder - Order Transition (CDOT) experiment took place aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia as part of the Second United States Microgravity Laboratory (USML-2) which flew from October 20 to November 5, 1995. This paper will describe the instrument and how it was employed in the CDOT experiment. The detailed results of the experiment will be the subject of another paper.
