Note that delivery outside the US of A would be subject to ITAR regulations. Shipping would be a bit pricey as well.

Will you take Zimdollars? I might have enough in them.

Anyhow, as you live in Der Nederlands, you would just get a container filled with concrete.

That would be an awesome gear to own. I'd buy it, if I had nothing better to spend my money on, and see if I could get it up and running.

It probably still works, as it was designed for use in a shuttle bay, so would only need power supplied via an umbilical. Probably the computers that run it are missing, as they were standard Shuttle computers ( IBM 360 derivatives) and would have been robbed as spares and replacement parts. The reflector and such are probably OK, but you would need to have a few litres of liquid Helium to operate the detectors.

Would you need a big vacuum chamber for it I would imagine that it is designee to work in one and it is quite likely that the sensor needs a vacuum for operation and space would be providing it.
