Outside the International Space Station with MISSE-X
[ Sound Effects ]
The MISSE project is the longest-running materials
technology development project
on the International Space Station, and MISSE stands
for the Materials International Space Station Experiment.
It's actually a series of materials, flight experiments,
that are placed into trays,
that we call passive experiment containers, or PECs,
and these PECs are placed outside a space station
and materials, or experiments that are in these trays,
get exposed to the space environment for a long duration.
