I am curious, what flown artifacts from the HST are in public/private collections? I know of only a few:
  • Optical Camera Channel and Baffle assemblies from the Wide Field and Planetary Camera (WF/PC) 1 recovered from the Hubble Space Telescope during HST Service Mission 1; four are in a private collection; two are on display at NASM;

  • An unspecified number of flown insulation pieces encased in acrylic;

  • An unspecified number of solar cells encased in acrylic and presented by the European Space Agency;
Are there other flown hardware pieces on display or in private collectors' possession?

All times are CT (US)
