The preceding represents only a fraction of the ISS activity involving natural and induced space environmental effects. In general the authors can say that for most environmental factors they have been quite conservative in establishing parameters for materials selection in design, for hardware aid systems verification testing, and for the conduct of performance analysis. The exception being that of micrometeroids and orbital debris, where the flight experience reported here is actually in good agreement with prediction. However, this conservatism was natural when faced with the limited data available at the onset of the ISS program and during its early design phase. As a consequence, no significant ISS material or system failures have been attributed to spacecraft-environments interactions and the overall performance of ISS as a long-duration spacecraft has been outstanding. It is clearly seen that the experience being gained from building and operating the ISS has provided valuable, definitive data to the spacecraft materials community for the LEO environment, as well as a template for methods and approaches to be used so as to reduce cost and risk for future spaceflight projects and programs.
