Description

Worn during 22+ hours of EVA to repair the Hubble Space Telescope

Jeff Hoffman's flown eyeglasses worn during his EVAs to service the Hubble Space Telescope during STS-61, designed by "Suspension Eyewear" and featuring two lenses with a golden bridge, attached to clear plastic earpieces by a thin 'fishing line' filament. Complete with their flown case, bearing an affixed Velcro swatch on the back, with a label annotated, "CP-2-HO-75." In very good to fine condition, with expected signs of use and deterioration to foam inside the case. Hoffman performed three EVAs during the mission, logging more than 22 hours outside the Space Shuttle Endeavour while wearing these glasses.

Provenance: From the personal collection of Jeff Hoffman.
