LDEF (Postflight), AO038 : Interstellar Gas Experiment, Tray F06

LDEF (Postflight), AO038 : Interstellar Gas Experiment, Tray F06 The postflight photograph was taken in the KSC SAEF II facility prior to removing experiments from the LDEF. The brown stains are still prominent and seem to be a little more intense than in the flight photograph. This may be due to the different lighting intensity and direction. The beryllium copper collector foil is clearly visible in this photograph as are the baffles near the top of the canister housing. However, the fine wire mesh grid cannot be seen. Due to an experiment system mal- function, the canister collector foil that is visible was exposed for the total mission.
