Description
About the Relic & Process
This space flown fragment of thermal insulation liner flew on Orbital Vehicle #102 (OV-102) known as Space Shuttle Columbia. Made from beta cloth and kapton insulation, this piece of thermal insulation (part no. 362160-002-NC) lined and protected the payload bay area inside the shuttle.
Thermal insulation liner from Space Shuttle Columbia - marked "SCRAP"
Often referred to as "the blanket", these insulation liners were frequently replaced when the payload within the orbiter was reconfigured to accomodate new items in the cargo bay. This specific insulation piece was flown on the first shuttle mission and likely remained on board through the first four missions during Columbia's R&D shuttle flight period.

Once this liner was removed, it was marked as scrap in 1986. This item was part of the Charlie Bell (NASA) collection where he was employed at the Kennedy Space Center and amassed an incredible collection of surplus space program parts stemming from the early days of the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and Shuttle missions.
