Abstract
The evolution of the Isothermal Dendritic Growth Experiment (IDGE), wh ich was performed aboard the space shuttle Columbia, provides an examp le of how a space flight experiment is proposed, developed, built, and operated. To illustrate this example, this article traces the key dev elopments of the IDGE from the initial concept to the actual space fli ght mission.
