STS-82 display with flown payload bay liner

Own a piece of the Space Shuttle era with this flown (white) payload bay liner fragment from STS-82.

This artifact comes beautifully presented in a laser-engraved wooden display (6x9cm) with an engraved acrylic top, held together by four hand-mounted screws. The display features the STS-82 mission patch, an engraved line drawing of the Hubble Space Telescope, and engraved mission data including launch and landing dates, total orbits, and distance traveled. The flown liner fragment is mounted prominently in the display, letting you admire the material that once shielded Space Shuttle Discovery’s cargo bay during 150 orbits around Earth.

STS-82 launched on February 11, 1997, and returned on February 21, 1997, after 10 days in space. During the mission, astronauts conducted five spacewalks to service and upgrade the Hubble Space Telescope, extending its life and dramatically improving its capabilities.

Handmade by The New Space Age in Germany. Size and shape of the flown piece may vary. Although it is possible to remove the screws and disassemble the display we advise you not to do so since the flown piece might get lost. Clean only with a microfiber cloth.
