Author	Topic: Help identifying shuttle hardware piece
JoKepler Member Posts: 515 From: Houston, Texas Registered: Jul 2001	posted 12-13-2016 07:28 PM I have a piece of hardware I bought years ago. It was represented to me as a hardware piece from the space shuttle, but I have never found out exactly what it is (or if it is really a shuttle hardware piece). It is a round piece that appears to have a mirror like surface. My guess it had something to do with a telescope type instrument? Anyway, is there any good resource anyone knows to find out exactly what this piece is? All help appreciated. Thanks and happy collecting!
