Various materials being used in the Euro Material Ageing investigation

Each circle represents a different material used in the Euro Material Ageing investigation. This experiment exposes samples to the harsh space environment outside the International Space Station to test how materials degrade. The samples are then recovered and returned to Earth for analysis to help researchers understand the effects of space on materials.
