NSWCWODET submitted 27 specimens for space flight STS-46 exposure on the space shuttle. The sample set included various carbide, oxide, and phosphate coatings which are being developed to protect space structural and thermal management components from the atomic oxygen present in low earth orbits, structural carbon-carbon composite material, and a space mirror made of foam metal matrix composite. At this writing, the samples returned from the orbital exposure are being analyzed to determine the degree of reactivity with the space environment.
