B, Fairchild Space P/N 963-PF 1000, Serno 92060102, D.O.M. 9223." Many of the screws have been sealed on with dots of adhesive, preparing the carrier for flight. Complete with its foil packaging. Consignor states that this was deaccessioned by NASA Goddard along with other flown hardware after Hubble Service Mission SM3B. Attesting to its significance is the label designating that it was an "artifact."
