The Isothermal Dendritic Growth Experiment (IDGE) is a NASA space flight experiment which flew as part of the United States Microgravity Payload (USMP-2), in early 1994. The IDGE measured dendritic growth rates, tip radii, and crystal morphologies of ultra-pure succinonitrile (CN-(CH2)2-CN) at supercoolings in the range from 0.05 - 2.0 K. Data taken in the form of slow-scan binary digitized images telemetered to the ground from orbit in near-real time, combined with the IDGE terrestrial data set, provide the first quantitative assessment of various theories on dendritic solidification and the effects of convection on dendritic growth.
