danh Member Posts: 12 From: Carmel, IN Registered: Apr 2016	posted 09-08-2018 07:12 PM The documentation in this eBay auction references orbiter 099, which would be Challenger, but the owner lists STS-5 which would be Columbia, and several years prior to the scrap tag. Is this likely from the 10/84 STS-41 mission? Concerns with this item other than the description posted by the owner? Thanks.

To add to the discrepancy is the fact that the back of the tile shows no signs of being installed or removed. It is my opinion that this tile is a flight spare and did not fly.
