I noticed this at the end of the article: > Mr. Bowersox didn’t rule out the possibility of a salvage mission to the crash site or missions and funded requests from partner nations and museums such as The Smithsonian to secure would-be artifacts of a bygone era of space travel, but nothing is planned. So maybe they can get something worthwhile out of it if the deorbit goes well. Still, sending it out as a larger version of Voyager just seems cooler.
