Artifact Transfer Program
NASA is inviting eligible educational institutions, museums and other
organizations to begin registering to screen potential agency artifacts.
The artifacts represent significant human spaceflight technologies,
aeronautical accomplishments, and scientific endeavourers. More
information about the types of artifacts that may be available is
included in a brochure, "Space Shuttle Program
Artifacts." To ensure broad access to potential shuttle and other
agency artifacts, NASA partnered with the General Services
Administration to provide a first of its kind, Web-based electronic
artifacts prescreening capability – the NASA Space Programs – Historic
Artifacts Prescreening module.
Artifacts are added on a regular basis and each artifact will be
screened for 90 days. Once the screening period closes, requestors will
be notified about the status of their request.
If you have difficulty with the registration process at the Historic
Artifacts Prescreening page, please send an email to this address.
Museum and school officials must first be determined as eligible through
an online registration process or through the State Agency for Surplus
Property in their state. Eligible recipients may view the available
artifacts and request specific items at the Web site. Prescreening
allows potential recipients to identify specific items and provides the
time to plan to transport, preserve and properly display artifacts.
Requesting an artifact through the prescreening process does not
guarantee the item will be available or when it will become available.
Artifacts will be incrementally released, as they are no longer needed
by the Space Shuttle Program or other agency programs, and in accordance
with export control laws and regulations.
The artifacts are free. However, eligible recipients must cover shipping
costs and any special handling fees. Shipping fees on smaller items will
be relatively inexpensive, while larger items may involve extensive
disassembly, preparation, shipping and reassembly costs.
NASA will work closely with potential recipients, on a case-by-case
basis, to address any unique special handling costs.
