Abstract
A retrospective analysis, curation, and organization into searchable databases of public domain data of crystals grown in microgravity was undertaken. The data were then analyzed and marked for improved results (size, structure, uniformity, resolution limit, and/or mosaicity). Overall, 90% of the crystals analyzed showed improvement in one or more of the metrics utilized for analysis.
