MISSE (Materials International Space Station Experiment), a joint project between NASA and Boeing
Our BLUE-Wave spectrometers were launched into space and mounted on the ISS as part of the MISSE-7 experiment, designed to take real-time spectra to provide insight on how the environment of space affects different optical properties of materials. Many of the materials were designed for space exposure and are considered next generation materials for space travel.
