Researchers, developers, and engineers at myriad commercial corporations, government organizations and academic institutions use IDL to bring products to market and make discoveries less expensively and in less time.
Just a few of the organizations that use IDL every day:

Mars Exploration Rover Team
In January 2004 two rovers, launched by NASA, landed on opposite sides of Mars. The goal of the Mars exploration mission is to answer questions posed for generations: what is the history of water on Mars, and what is the potential that life could, or ever did, exist on the planet? Thanks to the rovers, and advanced imaging software technology like IDL and ENVI, scientists now can better understand the geochemical and mineralogical make up of Mars. Geologist William Farrand, a research scientist with the Space Science Institute (SSI) of Boulder, Colorado uses both IDL and ENVI to manage, analyze and present the image data from the rovers.

MIMVista Corporation
Using IDL as their development platform, Dr. Nelson and the MIMvista Corp. team designed a Windows-based image display system that enables radiologists, medical researchers and other doctors to easily display and manually overlay tomographic images. The new image display system allows the operator to rotate, translate and align images anatomically, and match the geometric position of the images relative to one another.

Reaction Design
Reaction Design selected IDL to build the GUI and Plotting Package for their commercial chemical engineering software package CHEMKIN. CHEMKIN includes applications for the simulation, optimization and design of combustion, chemical processing, microelectronics processing and environmental protection. CHEMKIN is designed for scientists involved in either the chemistry or engineering aspects of process design, including gas phase and surface chemistry.

NASA
NASA’s SeaWiFS development team used IDL to develop a custom application that allows scientists around the globe to access remote sensing data over the Internet and analyze the data in a manner that consistently adheres to rigid scientific standards.

Los Alamos National Lab’s Biophysics Group
Equipped with IDL’s programming power, the Biophysics Group developed a software tool called MRIVIEW for viewing and manipulating volumetric MRI head data. MRIVIEW supplies methods for reading in raw MRI data, viewing this data in two and three dimensions, segmenting structures in the data, reconciling coordinate systems between the MRI data volume and data obtained from brain functional modalities, and viewing combinations of anatomical and functional information.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
NOAA uses IDL to help them teach science through the intuitive visualization of climate, weather, oceanic and geophysical data with their Science on a Sphere™ program. IDL is used to convert data from a variety of sources and then project the results in near real-time on a fibreglass sphere that acts as a 3D “movie screen.”

Millersville University of Pennsylvania, Earth Sciences Department
Using IDL, the Earth Sciences Department developed the World Topography Viewer. The multi-faceted applications of the World Topography Viewer allow geoscientists to view any elevation point on Earth, plot elevation profiles around the world at any latitude or longitude or between any two arbitrary points, view topographic animations of a rotating Earth, view 3D images or contours, and view topographic animations of a rotating Earth.
