The postflight photograph was taken in SAEF II after the experiment tray was removed from the LDEF and shows the locations of two (2) experiments integrated into a six (6) inch deep LDEF peripheral tray. A brown discoloration is seen at the top end of the tray's left flange and also on the lower half of the tray's left sidewall. The Experiment Exposure Control Canister (EECC), located in the left section of the experiment tray, has a dark brown discoloration on the mounting structure in the bottom of the tray. The tray's right and left flanges and each end of the top flange have abrasions from prelaunch testing. The Exposure of Spacecraft Coatings Experiment (ESC)experiment consist of two parts, one set of test specimen (49-2cm specimen and 12-4cm specimen) located in the lower left half of the tray center section and the second set of test specimen (98-2cm specimen and 12-4cm specimen) located in the EECC. Both sets of specimen are mounted in aluminum base plates and are parially mask by a thin aluminum cover plate with circular openings. The cover plates and the sup- port structure are assembled with non-magnetic fasteners. Some exposed specimen coatings have changed colors and three of the larger (4cm) specimen appear to be severely degraded or missing. The EECC is in the closed position and specimen contained within cannot be viewed. The visible parts of the canister consist of the larger anodized aluminum thermal cover attached to the canister body and sun shield attached to the canister drawer faceplate. The silver squares on the lower corners of the canister sun shield are pads of tape installed prior to launch.
