PV-WAVE/IMSL - Rolls Royce Aerospace Update Link / Bad Link? 
Rolls Royce Aerospace has been using PV-WAVE in its high-energy X-ray laboratory. The company uses pulsed, focused beams synchronized with a rotating engine to provide a static image. Powering the 11 MeV X-ray device is a complex generator which produces the high voltage and current supplies needed.

Hubble Telescope Repair - IDL's Role Update Link / Bad Link? 
An article describing the role of IDL in helping repair the Hubble Space Telescope. From the article: "In 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was placed in orbit and pointed at deep space. Astronomers around the world anxiously waited for images... However, instead of brilliant images unaffected by the inherent distortion of the Earth's atmosphere, the HST delivered fuzzy, blurred pictures that revealed little... The ease of writing and sharing applications, compiling data and visualizing results compelled Scowen and the team to use IDL, the Interactive Data Language, as the software language for testing, calibrating and analyzing data from the Wide Field/Planetary Camera-2 (WF/PC-2)."
