I went digging around for images of the felt backing under the tiles, as
I noticed on the images of the tile ding from orbit it appears to be black in color: http://a52.g.akamaitech.net/f/52/827...einspct_02.jpg Images of the tiles being applied to the Shuttle though show that the surface they are applied to appears to be white: http://www.dfrc.nasa.gov/Newsroom/X-...ages/tiles.jpg ....are each of the tiles backed with black felt, and is this then secured down to a white felt that is attached to the exterior skin of the Shuttle?
