The MFR number looks like what we call a cage code. The company listed for the cage code 32946 is a company called PEABODY INTL CORP 500 SHERMAN ST GALION OH 44833-2031 419-468-2120 You might want to give them a call and ask for someone in sales. Ask if they've made things for rockets or satellites or the material you found. A mechanical engineer said he thought they made heavy machinery so it may not be the source of the material you found, but it's worth a try. Another thought is perhaps the MFR number is incorrect. Are there any numbers which might be wrong? Let me know what other numbers it might be and I'll check them out.

Dear list, A while ago I mentioned a bit of aerospace debris that we found on the beach at Cocoa Beach, Fla USA. Several SeeSat-ers responded off-list with offers to help, pics on the way to y'all next week. Meanwhile, does anybody on the list recognise any of this info taken from the object: (inscribed inside a circle): GDSS 62 PQAR (inscribed inside a circle): FSI 1 27-77008-51 CHG A MFR32946 8/3/92 The object is structural, aluminum honeycomb core, fiber-reinforced composite skin, stainless steel fasteners, and kind of shattered and burnt. I was wondering if perhaps this was part of a sat or failed launch vehicle? Just curious if anyone recognises any of the numbers. Any clues will be appreciated. Thanks much!
