Materials Tested in Space

From the creator

NASA launched the Long Duration Exposure Facility developed at NASA's Langley Research Center in 1984. It spent almost six years in space collecting data on how 57 experiments mounted in 86 trays withstood the harsh space environment, until it was retrieved on Jan. 12, 1990. Results from LDEF have helped improve spacecraft construction. This story was produced in October, 1990.
