The LDEF project is summarized from its conception, through its deployment, to the return of the experiments. A LDEF chronology and a fact sheet is included. The experiments carried more than 10,000 specimens to gather scientific data and to test the effects of long term space exposure on spacecraft materials, components, and systems. Results will be invaluable for the design of future spacecraft such as Space Station Freedom.
