Author	Topic: Researching LiOH canister flight history
Mr Webber New Member Posts: 3 From: Melbourne Victoria Australia Registered: Jan 2017	posted 02-14-2017 03:56 PM I'm hoping someone can help me find out if my LiOH canister is a space flown item. It was not sold to me as a flown item but the seller, unlike other canisters he had sold, did not know the full history of this one. As it has its original registration plate complete with serial number I thought perhaps NASA has its history on file. Have tried to contact someone there but having no luck. Can anyone help with this?

Been going through our original emails since your reply and found the source of my confusion. This unit was unusually not stamped GROUND TEST ONLY and from that and the passing of time, a seed of possible flown status grew. I'm thinking of selling the unit and just wanted to make sure.
