Materials samples were exposed to the low Earth orbit (LEO) environment as part of the MISSE- 6 and -7B flight experiments. Optical properties, thickness/mass loss, surface elemental analysis, visual and microscopic analysis for surface change are some of the techniques employed in this investigation. Effects of molecular contamination are discussed. Where possible, the MISSE-6 and -7B results are compared to analyses from other LEO experiments.
