Flown Flexible Insulation Blanket, 10 x 6.25, made of low-density fibrous silica batting material, taken from the exterior of an unknown Orbiter by a TPS engineer at the Kennedy Space Center, to perform a waterproofing calibration test. Yellow side (formerly white before testing) is labeled “Test,” with opposite red side having been the side that affixed to the shuttle fuselage. In fine condition. These blankets were used where reentry temperature is below 649 °C (1,200 °F). There are approximately 24,300 tiles and 2,300 Flexible Insulation Blankets on the outside of each Orbiter.
