FACET, which has been conducted onboard ``Kibo'' since April 9, 2009, was completed on June 12, 2009. FACET aimed to clarify the mechanism of a faceted cellular array growth by precisely observing the phenomena at the solid / liquid interface. Phenyl salicylate / t-butanol alloy was used as a sample material instead of semiconductors or oxides. The crystal growth processes were visualized in situ using a microscope and an interferometer, especially focusing on changes in temperature and concentration in the sample. Some experimental results were briefly reported in the present paper.
