Explorer II Relic

Our rocket club was given a peice of Explorer II that washed up in Australia. Though some of you would be interested and might even have some knowledge as to what the piece is.

The item in resin as it appears today.


A bit of the backstory...

That's pretty neat. I am just returning home from my trip to rocketry Graceland: Whites Sands Museum and New Mexico Museum of Space History, and Roswell, NM.
