STS-122 FLOWN and EVA used wire tie – ex Hans Schlegel

Flown & EVA-Used Wire Tie from Hans Schlegel’s Spacesuit – STS-122 Mission

A rare and authentic artifact from NASA’s STS-122 mission to the International Space Station (ISS): this flown and EVA-used wire tie was part of the spacesuit worn by German astronaut Hans Schlegel during his spacewalk (EVA) on February 13, 2008.

Used during the mission’s extravehicular activity, this wire tie was attached to Schlegel’s EMU (Extravehicular Mobility Unit) and played a functional role in managing suit components or tethering equipment during the EVA. As a flown item that directly supported a spacewalk, it is a true piece of operational spaceflight hardware.

Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity personally signed by Hans Schlegel, this artifact offers direct provenance from the astronaut himself—making it an exceptional collectible for space enthusiasts, historians, and serious collectors.
