NASA scientists spent months filtering through bent metal and shards of razor sharp material, each of the salvageable pieces of material going into its own small container where they were stored for a short time. Some weeks later, one of the lead scientists and the supervisor of the engineering technicians came upon what turned out to be the solar wind concentrator. Protected by a couple of aluminum braces and brackets, the concentrator had survived almost completely intact with only one small crack in one of its quadrants.
NASA researchers spent months sorting through damaged metal and sharp fragments, each piece carefully placed in a container for temporary storage.  Weeks later, a lead scientist and the engineering supervisor found the solar wind concentrator, which was remarkably intact despite some minor damage. It was protected by aluminum braces and brackets.
