Acrylic Presentation with flown artifacts from all Space Shuttles. This stunning new acrylic contains a flown artifact from each space flown US space shuttle commemorating the end of the Space Shuttle program-1981-2011-20 years of space history :Made out of the most advanced acrylic available on the market today-Plexid 55-these are ultraclear with no discoloration over time. Unlike other privately made acrylics these are real blocks, not cheaply glued or screwed together. Each block is in the size of 4" x 6" and about 1`` thick. Perfect for any office table or even flat down in a cabinet! This acrylic contains fragments from each Space Shuttle that went into orbit-each fragment has been flown into space : Space Shuttle Columbia : Flown Duct Tape on STS-5, Space Shuttle Challenger : Flown AFRSI blanket on STS-41 G, Space Shuttle Discovery : Flown Gap Filler on STS-91, Space Shuttle Atlantis : Flown blanket on STS-86, Space Shuttle Endeavour : Flown blanket on STS-77, Any items from the Space Shuttle Challenger are incredibly rare as they were all secured after the explosion of the orbiter and little was released before such as this blanket. The AFRSI blanket is used instead of heatshield tiles as it is more flexible as the name says. Comes with a certificate of authenticity and copies of the original NASA papers. Your out of this world memento of the Space Shuttle program! Good condition
