Space Shuttle Centaur Inertial Upper Stage Computer Unit Assembly, measuring 16.5″ x 15″ x 7″, with a Delco Electronics label on the side: "Computer Unit, IUS, Designation C1290025A, Serial No. 0006, Part No. 7562101-121, Spec No. 290-22119-58…Contr. No. F04701-85-C-0101, Design No. 13160." One panel has seven ports—marked "J1" through "J6" and "J11"—and the other features a screw-down "Battery Access Cover." The bottom has larger ports labeled "J8" through "J10." The main panel is missing its screws, allowing it to be easily removed to reveal the multitude of computer cards inside. In fine condition, with soiling to exterior. The Shuttle-Centaur program was canceled following the Challenger disaster.
