A crystallization experiment could be automated, with a small mass. If I
understood the intent properly, it sounded as if he was considering
running the diffraction experiment in space also. That would
significantly increase the mass, and might vault the project beyond the
available level of automation.
Although I guess if it was fully automated so that no personnel had to
be involved post-launch, shielding would no longer be a concern.
