Why are the tiles set at a 45 degree angle on the belly?
Hi everyone, I'm a volunteer at one of the museums with one of the remaining shuttles and a fellow volunteer brought in a tile for us to look at. The serial number is VO70-199705-024 E29321From what I can find, it's on the leading edge of the wing, and I'm guessing the upper side because of what I can see on our shuttle. If anyone can place the tile, I know my fellow volunteer will be very happy. Unfortunately I didn't get to take a photo, but it has an interesting notch cut in it.Thanks!
Hello! I just received a shuttle tile as well, but my number does not match the usual format. The black tile is stenciled with relatively small (compared to others) white text:MISC-794-462-014I looked all over and haven't seen any references telling exactly what it is; the closest I've found is the XXX014 (body flap), but I would think those tiles match the format of the others posted here. Like the others, I'd love to make a nice display case for it with a photo of its intended location/use if possible. Thanks in advance to any who might be able to help!
I need help in verifying two tiles that flew on Enterprise. How do I do it?
Hello all, I have two tiles that I am hoping to get tile maps for. I hope I'm posting in the right spot.These two tiles were supposedly installed on Challenger after its initial delivery to NASA from Rockwell. Apparently they failed some form of test or were found to be defective in some way. Like many others, I am wanting to display them and am seeking printable tile map files for each one. Any help would be very much appreciated.LRSI Tile V070 197002 066 008303HRSI Tile (No printed numbers, only stamped on the rear all over the place) V070 193008 then 9005 stamped below, then the following stamped underneath on an angle 200 2973X(X indicates that I can't make out what number it is)Thanks in advance!Jay
