Own a piece of the Space Shuttle era with this flown Gap Filler fragment from STS-84.

This artifact comes beautifully presented in a laser-engraved wooden display (6x9cm) with an engraved acrylic top, held together by four hand-mounted screws. The display features a printed STS-84 mission patch, an engraved line drawing of Space Shuttle Atlantis and the Mir space station, as well as engraved mission data including launch-, landing dates and total orbits. The flown liner fragment is mounted prominently in the display, letting you admire the material that once shielded Space Shuttle Discovery’s cargo bay during 144 orbits around Earth.

STS-84 launched on May 15, 1997, and returned on May 24, 1997, after spending 9 days in space.

As the sixth Shuttle mission to dock with the Russian Mir Space Station, STS-84 further developed international cooperation and long-duration spaceflight research during the Shuttle-Mir program.

Handmade 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.
