Interesting collection of early Space Shuttle tile fragments, including: a 3.5″ long segment given by Lockheed to STS-1 VIP launch guests and select members of the news media, in its original case with descriptive card; a flown fragment of tile from the Space Shuttle Columbia removed after the STS-1 mission, encased in acrylic and given to a Kennedy Space Center employee in recognition of their contribution; and a loose 2″ long unflown section of Shuttle tile. In overall very good to fine condition. From the collection of aerospace memorabilia specialist Ken Havekotte.
