Honeywell were (perhaps still are) well into thermal imaging and I think they designed and built several imaging systems or components of systems in some of the orbiting telescopes. Be interesting to see which ones. I have been reading that " Universe in a Mirror" book about the checkered history of Hubble and I'm sure Honeywell get several mentions. I'll have another look.
I notice this one has a Serial number 0001. Prototype perhaps. We'll never know unless someone has a lazy US$3000 or so to have a play.
