  Title: STS-32 photo survey of LDEF includes closeup of experiment tray
  Description:
  STS-32 onboard view shows one of many individual trays on the twelve-sided 
  bus-sized Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF).  In the center is the 
  experiment tray representing the Dublin, Ireland, Institute for Advanced 
  Studies and ESA-ESTEC, titled "A High-Resolution Study of Ultra-heavy 
  Cosmic-Ray Nuclei."  The experiment has 16 locations on the cylindrical 
  spacecraft.  Note the apparent micrometeoroid hits on the experiment.  The 
  light green adjacent tray is a JSC-based experiment on the chemistry of 
  micrometeoroids.
