Starlink terminal panel hex holed tile

This heat tile was located just below the forward flap of Ship 33. This tile is for protecting the Starlink during re-entry and has an angled edge.

There were 6 Starlink terminals on S33, of which only 4 had the heat tiles covering them, making this particular tile 1 of 4 and a very unique tile on the ship. This could possibly be the only one of its kind retrieved from the crash.

The red glue tile adhesive on the back of this tile is typical of the later Starship technology.
