LDEF (Flight), M0006 : Space Environment Effects, Tray C02
Summary
LDEF (Flight), M0006 : Space Environment Effects, Tray C02 The flight photograph was taken while the LDEF was attached to the Orbiter's RMS arm, seen along the left side of the photograph, and provides an on-orbit view of the C02 integrated tray. When comparing this photograph with the prelaunch photograph, one of the most noticeable changes is the brown stain, attributed to outgassing and contamination, on the experiment hardware within the tray. M0006 The EECC containing the M0006 experiment appears to be in excellent shape after the sixty nine (69) month mission. A light brown stain is visible on the base plate, the canister support rails and the canister's thermal covers. Close inspection reveals impact craters, seen as white dots, in several locations on the thermal covers and on the base plate.
