NASA Mission Control Computer Artifacts
NASA Mission Control Computer Artifacts
Verified Authentic
Item #054
During the 1970s–80s, NASA used state-of-the-art computers from the company Modular Computer Systems. These "MODCOMP" systems were used in processing and controlling the telemetry of many space projects including the Voyager probes, Skylab, as well as the early Space Shuttle launches.
NASA has obviously upgraded their systems since, and so we were able to purchase several used MODCOMP computer boards and carefully extract the microchips so that more people could share and enjoy this artifact.
By purchasing one of these chips, you are purchasing a piece of computing and space history. While the look and function of these components may vary, each served critical data to and from some of humankind's most ambitious space exploration projects.
Acrylic display capsule included for chips.

as soon as I got the package at the doorstep, immediately opened it, and went to leave a review 💛
from an aspiring aerospace engineer, I will now be putting the chip up on a bookshelf as a visible reminder of human achievement. (-:
thank you for the amazing artifact!! 10/10
Exactly as described (and even depicted on sellers homepage). Cool addition to my private collection :)
Awesomely nerdy piece of history. I love it.
A gift for someone very hard to buy for. High-quality information and authentication card (nice thick paper, clean print) and the case for the chip is well-manufactured and looks professional. The chip itself is as in the picture. Thank you for preserving this piece of history.
A perfect gift for a space exploration fan!
Such a fun and unique item for space lovers!!! Shipping was super quick!
