Thought a thread on the various Hubble Space Telescope flown items would be a good topic.Hubble telescope MLI (multilayer insulation) from April 10, 1990 to Dec. 24, 1999.  Retro Space Images 1/75 Bay 10 door MLI blanket. There is also a larger lucite, which is the same picture and one of 17.  Hubble Space Telescope returned solar cells(3) from the first servicing mission.  |

F/30 Relay Optical baffle returned from the first Hubble service mission (it was deintegrated from the Wide Field Planetary Camera 1 (WFPC-1) assembly after offload from the Shuttle and subsequent transported to Goddard Space Flight Center. WFPC-1 was replaced with WFPC-2 and COSTAR during that service mission.The optical bench itself was reutilized to build out WFC3 (installed on a later flight) but many of the flown electro-optical components including this artifact were not. Its sisters resides in the National Air and Space Museum collection.

Anybody know how many of the Hubble MLI lucites were made? Not the ones from Retro Space Images but the first one shown on this thread. |

Have seen those on display at ESA and at the STScI together with some great metal scale models. |

Nothing on lucite about numbers and the box just has a paper on taking care of lucite, no certificates or numbers. |

They were given directly from NASA as a gift of appreciation for being part of the Hubble telescope team. |

Our Hubble display has an engineering-type model with what appears to be actual solar panel segments as well as a couple of the lucites mentioned above. Neither has any number or batch number. |
