LDEF (Flight), AO015 : Free-Flyer Biostack Experiment, Tray G02

description

Summary

LDEF (Flight), AO015 : Free-Flyer Biostack Experiment, Tray G02 The flight photograph was taken from the Orbiter aft flight deck during the LDEF retrieval. The paint dots on the experiment tray clamp blocks, originally white, have become discolored. The LDEF end frame structure also is discolored in locations adjacent to the edge of the black thermal panels. The Biostack experiment appears to have survived the extended mission with no visible damage. The experiment housings are intact and all hardware is securely in place. The exposed Kapton H foil covering windows in two (2) detector housings are deformed due to a positive internal pres sure but do not appear to have sustained damage. The Kapton H foil covers are visible beneath the perforated dome on two (2) of the detector housings with no indication of damage.
