iss072e189571 (11/16/2024) --- The Canadarm2 robotic arm removes Materials ISS Experiment (MISSE) science carriers from the Kibo laboratory module's airlock. The MISSE Flight Facility mounted outside the International Space Station allows researchers to test the performance and durability of materials and devices. This is done by exposing items of interest to everything that makes the space environment harsh, including radiation, highly reactive atomic oxygen, microgravity, and extreme temperatures.
