For improvement of the fullerite C60 crystal growth technology before the scheduled space experiments on the ISS the growing of the high purity grade fullerite C60 crystals with the sufficiently high structural perfection were carried out on the Earth from the C60 vapor in sealed quartz ampoules (pre-evacuated to the pressure of 10−3 Pa) at temperatures in the evaporation zone ranging from 560 – 610 ◦C with a temperature gradient between the evaporation and deposition zones of 3 – 10 K/cm within 72 h. The grown single crystals had a size of ∼ 5 × 5 × 5 mm and habitus corresponding to the fcc lattice. IR spectroscopy shows the high purity fullerite C60.</p><p> </p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>fullerite</kwd><kwd>C60</kwd><kwd>crystal growth</kwd><kwd>sublimation</kwd><kwd>microgravity</kwd><kwd>IR spectroscopy</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">De Bruijn J., Dworki A., et al.
