Genuine Starship S28 Heat Shield Tile Piece - Ultra Collectible memorabilia (Museum Quality).

This sale is for a true Genuine SpaceX Starship S28 Thermal Heat Shield Tile Edge Section Fragment. This piece is ULTRA RARE as they broke off from tiles that fell off during launch above the Gulf (possibly during Max Q or even stage separation). At this time less than a dozen full tiles have been recovered from this particular Starship, all coming detached during some point of the launch over the Gulf. In addition, only a handful of small tile sections/fragments such as this were recovered shortly after launch as well. Unlike SN24, RECOVERED tiles and tile pieces from S28 are EXTEMELY RARE and limited. This would be considered a highly sought after Museum piece! This item also includes the official SpaceX Flight 3 Mission Logo Sticker Set.

These heat tile sections have officially and responsibly been reported to SpaceX's debris reporting contact. These particular tile pieces are one of just a small handful that have even been recovered from S28 as of yet. This is considered a very collectible item being offered suitable for the hardcore space enthusiast, collector, or museum. Now is your chance to own a piece of history! This piece must be handled with care as the nature of this item is very fragile.

- On March 14th, 2024 SpaceX conducted the launch and the 3rd test Flight of the Starship Vehicle and Super Heavy Booster. Towering 40 stories tall, the Starship and Super Heavy Booster lifted off the earth surpassing double the thrust of the legendary Saturn V rocket. New goals and objectives had been established for this flight. The vehicle successfully conducted a hot staging separation for the 2nd time. This time the Booster returned back to the gulf and just meters above the surface conducted a RUD. Meanwhile, Starship continued to fly in all her glory. After a few minutes, Starship had stopped just shy of orbit as planned. Soon after, testing of fuel transfers and payload door opening/closing was achieved. Then a while after Starship conducted its scheduled re-entry. For the first time in human livestream video, the world was able to see the Heat tiles at work live via steaming from Starlink satellites as plasma built up around the surface of the ship with extraordinary temperatures. Eventually, SpaceX lost telemetry with the Starship vehicle as it burned up in the atmosphere over the Indian Ocean. Despite the destruction, this launch was a monumental success and the data obtained will help pave the way for other Starship success!

Unlike Starship SN24, the very limited number of tile and tile pieces recovered are extremely low and rare. These heat tiles had come detached from the ship at some point during the launch over the Gulf. Some shook off instantly, while it is speculated some came off during Max Q and even hot staging. To be able to hold one of these pieces of history in your hand is a remarkable treat!

Due to the nature of these items, the sale is final and non-refundable. This seller is not affiliated with or endorsed by SpaceX.
