Description: A description of the 100-m drop tube at the Marshall Space Flight Center is presented, along with some undercooling observations and a discussion of some microstructural properties of deeply undercooled Nb-Ge alloys. The facility comprises two turbopumps which can evacuate the tube to 0.00001 torr, and three IR detectors at 15, 80, and 103-m levels which are sensitive to light in the range of 9660-2635 K (wavelength range of 0.2 to 1.1 microns), though recalescence events were detected at 1700 K. Finally, hypercooling regimes and maximum possible undercooling in vacuum are defined for several materials, including Al, Cu, Ni, Fe, Pt, and Nb.
