From conclusion of paper: "Based on the statistical evaluation of the diffraction data sets, microgravity provides a useful environment to enhance crystal quality. Even after mechanical disturbance the space grown ML-I crystals show remarkably better diffraction properties in terms of signal to noise ratio and mosaicity then their ground grown counterparts."
