Artifacts, whether flown in space or used during training, have the distinction of being part of history.

While the spacecraft and other major artifacts reside in museums, it is still possible for a collector to locate notable examples of space hardware.

Like the museums that protect and preserve artifacts for future generations, collectors share a similar responsibility. While we all collect for personal reasons, we are insuring that the smaller pieces and parts are not forgotten.

That is not to say that all hardware available to collectors is physically small. Complete artifacts or large segments are exhibited here.
