This paper presents an overview of the initial observations of the Long Duration Exposure Facility and the 57 onboard experiments which were retrieved from space on January 12, 1990, during the Space Shuttle STS Mission 32. The facility and the 57 science, technology, and applications experiments had remained in space for almost 6 years. The initial and the continuing observations of this retrieved hardware have provided, and will continue to provide for a number of years in the future, a wealth of basic science data on the environments of near-earth space and a unique opportunity to observe and study long duration synergistic effects of these space environments on a large array of typical spacecraft materials and systems.
