Abstract A pool boiling experiment on a sounding rocket (TR-IA 1st Flight) was conducted with a transparent glass heater and an interferometer under a relatively low heat flux. During six minutes of microgravity condition, boiling phenomena observation and interferometric observation were schemed in addition to the acquisition of heat transfer data. The heat transfer characteristics showed a large influence due to liquid subcooling, and the interferometer observation implied the existence of stationary microlayer under isolated bubbles.
