STS-1 (Columbia) display with flown panel fragment

€34,99 EUR

Own a flown fragment of history from STS-1, the  very first Space Shuttle mission!

This display (6x9cm) contains an authentic flown panel fragment, material that protected the Space Shuttle and its structure during its journey into space. The fragment is preserved within a laser-engraved wooden base and engraved acrylic cover, featuring a color print of the STS-1 mission patch, engraved orbiter Columbia (OV-102), and full mission details.

STS-1 launched on April 12, 1981, and returned on April 14th, 1981, completing 37 orbits. Commanded by veteran Apollo astronaut and Moonwalker John Young alongside pilot Robert Crippen, this mission became the beginning of the Space Shuttle era of 135 manned launches!

Made by The New Space Age in Germany. Size and shape of the flown piece may vary. Although it is possible to remove the screws and disassemble the display we advise you not to do so since the flown piece might get lost. Clean only with a microfiber cloth.
