Famoxadone crystals grown with Redwire's PIL-BOX aboard the International Space Station. This image was taken after the crystals returned to Earth in April 2024. This small-molecule antifungal agent protects crops against fungal diseases like downy mildew and blights on potatoes, lettuce, grapes, and vegetables. The ADSEP-PIL-03 investigation grows crystals of several commercially relevant small molecules, each having various structures that may be altered by a microgravity environment.
