The Space Collective's labels and flags are flying alongside numerous material investigations that will be mounted to the MISSE platform, including a test of lunar simulant concrete an experiment to determine the best materials for wearable radiation protection for future NASA moon-bound astronauts and the trial of an epoxy resin-impregnated composite material that could help engineers design leak-resistant, self-healing spacesuits. "The external space environment where MISSE Is installed includes extreme levels of solar and charged particle radiation, atomic oxygen, hard vacuum and temperature extremes." "Our MISSE platform is a commercial external facility on the ISS that strives to make it as easy as possible for our customers to demonstrate new technologies," Ian Karcher, project engineer for the MISSE-15 payload, said in a pre-launch briefing. The labels, along with a small number of NASA and international flags, comprise The Space Collective's fourth payload to launch to the space station as part of a partnership with Aegis Aerospace, the space and technology company that operates the MISSE (Materials International Space Station Experiment) platform.įlown-in-space clothing and flags. "And the best part? You can own one (or more)!" The Space Collective, an online space memorabilia dealer, promotes on its website. After at least six months being exposed to the vacuum of space, the tags will return to Earth where they will then be sewn to t-shirts and other garments. Packed among the science experiments launching on SpaceX's 23rd commercial resupply services (CRS-23) mission to the International Space Station (ISS) is a small stash of NASA logo-adorned labels. A small, space-bound payload is about to give new definition to what it means to be a "high-end" fashion label.
