Space Shuttle Columbia landing at Edwards Air Force Base after its first flight, completing the STS-1 mission. April 14, 1981.
Earth observations with the tail of Columbia, STS-1

A small, 0.5" square portion of a thermal tile embedded in a numbered (0322) 3.75" x 2.75" x 1" clear Lucite display. It was "Presented to Doris R. Fennell/ In appreciation of your contribution to the Space Shuttle program" as noted on the front. There is an accompanying folder that reads, in part: "This memento contains a section of thermal protection tile cut from a damaged tile that was removed from the orbiter 'Columbia' after its first mission in space (...) This authenticated tile section was prepared for you as a member of the Kennedy Space Center team (...)"
