From Columbia's Closeout Crew member Dave Law, who removed it prior to closing the hatch for launch, STS-107 Space Shuttle Hatch Cover.
Hatch cover reads "COLUMBIA" in vertical letters and measures 3.875 x 49.25", folded at the end to fit into the framed display measuring 18.25 x 45.25". Hatch cover is framed with STS-107 commemorative pieces, including a photo of Columbia pilot William McCool in the White Room (where the astronauts board the shuttle) with three of his Closeout Crew, including Dave Law on the far left.
