Now, three decades later, the hardware that made up the Astro-1 mission (and its 1995 follow-up, Astro-2) is being recovered, reunited and restored for museum display. The [URL=https://www.astrorestorationproject.org/]Astro Restoration Project[/URL], a volunteer-run effort supported by commercial sponsors, the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama and the Smithsonian, is now well underway towards its goal of bringing the STS-35 (and STS-67) mission hardware back to its as-flown condition. Many of the people working on the project are retired NASA employees who configured the payload for its launch.[/i]</blockquote> <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-080921a-astro-restoration-project.html" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/images/news-080921aa-lg.jpg" width="400" height="265" border="0"></a></center>
