Abandoned ship systems disappeared?

[PvK]

Aha, thanks! So it would seem then that knowing that, in space I would jettison trade goods to make room, and/or salvage parts from some other ship component in cargo. Planetside, I would head back to the shuttle as soon as finding any heavy item.

The question is - on a cave, if I haven't seen the ship component yet, and I leave the level (to drop off what I am currently carrying), will it still disappear? Or do I need to have seen it first?
