I saw this listed at the recent Goldberg's auction. Does anyone have an history on these Hasselblad data assemblies, how they have come to market and how many were flown on each mission?
FLOWN on multiple missions, NASA part #SEF33101018-322 S/N 1059, Data Module Assembly is attached to the top of the Hasselblad 70mm film Data Recording Magazine DM-100/200 (not included in lot) and part of Hasselblad 553 ELS Space Camera (not included in lot).

This Data Module Assembly flew on 22 shuttle flights including STS-28, 35, 36, 41, 42, 44, 45, 47, 50, 51, 53, 55, 61 (Hubble Servicing Mssion), 68, 73, 75, 88 (first Shuttle ISS Assembly flight), 89 (MIR Docking Mission), 90, 92, 96 and 99. Includes NASA Parts Tag attached ot the original NASA parts bag and NASA flight history report. Requires a battery (not included) and is in good condtion. It was purchased as NASA surplus.

As noted in the auction description, they are sold through NASA surplus, i.e. General Services Administration (GSA) federal surplus auctions.

Are these surplus auctions still a means of picking up flown space hardware or has that now passed? I am not familiar with them, anyone know where these auctions are listed and how often?

Also I am guessing that if four cameras flew on each shuttle mission with a data assembly each and each assembly flew say ten times then there must be about fifty of these. As I said just a guess! All info appreciated.

All times are CT (US)
