iss057e080455 (11/12/2018) --- A view of the Space Environment Data Acquisition Equipment - Attached Payload (SEDA-AP) located on the Japanese Experiment Module - Exposed Facility (JEM-EF). The SEDA-AP investigation consists of eight small instruments designed to measure the space environment. Five radiation and particle monitors, an electronic device performance monitor, a micro-particle capture , and a space environment exposure device will provide data to help researchers characterize the environment around space vehicles in low-Earth orbit, which will be used to develop shielding to ensure future spacecraft are safe.
