Another tile from the "Tiles for Teachers" program. VO70-292100-063-008167
V070-395924-107-008493, as shown. My guess is aft heat shield / SSME dome, based on slightly rounded shape and beveled outer edge.The attached NASA publication has a rudimentary chart that shows general positions (although it contains a figure that contradicts some of what the table shows). I think the tile in question is shown on the cropped RPM image attached. Can anyone confirm?

Can anyone confirm?Found a partial tile map that shows your tile location, although I'm afraid its not an ideal viewing angle for direct comparison with the photo you attached. Images are copied from an L2 document (ignore the other annotations, they are irrelevant).

Looks like a lot of tiles in that general vicinity are fabricated with holes to accommodate them. Seem to relate to the fact that it's the first row of tiles on the SSME dome. (Although as you can see in the RPM photo, there are also in some of the body flap tiles too.)
Another request.I finally got mine, question is where is it from. no documentation came withV070-193005-252 Jf9865

I've attached a couple of graphics showing your tile highlighted in yellow (click images to enlarge).
Similar location to above: V070-193001-097 JB4781. I would greatly appreciate a schematic showing precisely where this thermal tile is located on the lower elevon. I have volunteered to design and build an appropriate display for my daughter's school to exhibit this important artifact and I would like to include a location diagram with the graphics.Thanks, Chris
Judging from other requests I believe it is from the SSME area. Scott
Thanks for the help, OV-106.What is SDS? And where can I find a map like the ones above showing tile locations?
