Development of a Computer Tool to Analyze MISSE Images

The Materials International Space Station Experiment (MISSE) contains individual experiments focused on the investigation of the effects that occur because of the exposure of the material to the space environment. The specimens are mounted on the exterior of the International Space Station (ISS) on the MISSE-Flight Facility (MISSE-FF) and are exposed to the extreme environmental conditions. There have been 14 MISSE missions since the establishment in 2001. This project will evaluate MISSE 9 - MISSE 13 specimens and how they change due to the space environment.
