2018 Microgravity Molecular Crystal Growth Utilization Solicitation Microgravity has been used for more than 30 years to improve outcomes of crystal analyses through production of higher quality and larger crystals. The ISS National Laboratory continues to support efforts for repetitive, low-cost crystallization in microgravity through the Microgravity Molecular Crystal Growth (MMCG) Program. This program seeks to provide a platform for discovery to users across many disciplines—commercial, other government agencies, academia, and private research.
This solicitation provides the opportunity for researchers to propose new ideas for approaches to be tested in the space environment in the context of known crystallization behavior in ground studies. Proposals should seek to utilize the microgravity environment to improve quality and/or yield of molecular crystals and to establish the benefits of space science for understanding and applying crystallization methods.
