‎Atlantis OV-104; NASA Facts FS-2011-3-047-KSC‎

‎Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration Kennedy Space Center 2011. Presumed First Edition First printing one of multiple origins. Single sheet printed on both sides. Good. The format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. There is an illustration of the orbiter on the booster on the front side. The other side lists the 32 completed missions and the 33rd mission targeted for June 28 2011. This is an ephemeral items and only a relatively few copies have likely survived. Space Shuttle Atlantis Orbiter Vehicle designation: OV-104 is a retired Space Shuttle orbiter vehicle which belongs to NASA the spaceflight and space exploration agency of the United States.Atlantis was manufactured by the Rockwell International company in Southern California and was delivered to the Kennedy Space Center in Eastern Florida in April 1985. Atlantis is also the fourth operational and the second-to-last Space Shuttle built. Its maiden flight was STS-51-J made from October 3 to 7 1985. <br /> Atlantis embarked on its 33rd and final mission also the final mission of a space shuttle STS-135 on July 8 2011. STS-134 by Endeavour was expected to be the final flight before STS-135 was authorized in October 2010. STS-135 took advantage of the processing for the STS-335 Launch on Need mission that would have been necessary if STS-134's crew became stranded in orbit. Atlantis landed for the final time at the Kennedy Space Center on July 21 2011. By the end of its final mission Atlantis had orbited the Earth a total of 4848 times traveling nearly 126000000 miles which is more than 525 times the distance from the Earth to the Moon.Atlantis is named after RV Atlantis a sailing ship that operated as the primary research vessel for the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution from 1930 to 1966 Space Shuttle Atlantis lifted off on its maiden voyage STS-51-J on October 3 1985. This was the second shuttle mission that was a dedicated Department of Defense mission. It flew one other mission STS-61-B the second shuttle night launch before the Challenger disaster temporarily grounded the shuttle fleet in 1986. Among the five Space Shuttles flown into space Atlantis conducted a subsequent mission in the shortest time after the previous mission turnaround time when it launched in November 1985 on STS-61-B only 50 days after its previous mission STS-51-J in October 1985. Atlantis was then used for ten flights from 1988 to 1992. Two of these deployed the planetary probes Magellan to Venus on STS-30 and Galileo to Jupiter on STS-34. With STS-30 Atlantis became the first Space Shuttle to launch an interplanetary probe. During the launch of STS-27 in 1988 a piece of insulation shed from the right solid rocket booster struck the underside of the vehicle severely damaging over 700 tiles and removing one tile altogether. The crew were instructed to use the remote manipulator system to survey the condition of the underside of the right wing ultimately finding substantial tile damage. The only images transferred to the mission control center were encrypted and of extremely poor quality. Mission control personnel deemed the damage to be "lights and shadows" and instructed the crew to proceed with the mission as usual infuriating many of the crew. Upon landing Atlantis became the single-most-damaged shuttle to successfully land. A similar situation would eventually lead to the loss of the shuttle Columbia in 2003 albeit on the more critical reinforced carbon-carbon. During STS-37 in 1991 Atlantis deployed the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. Beginning in 1995 with STS-71 Atlantis made seven straight flights to the former Russian space station Mir as part of the Shuttle-Mir program. STS-71 marked a number of firsts in human spaceflight: 100th U.S. crewed space flight; first U.S. Shuttle-Russian Space Station Mir docking and joint on-orbit operations; and first on-orbit change-out of shuttle crew. When linked Atlantis and Mir together formed the largest spacecraft in orbit at the time. Atlantis delivered several vital components for the construction of the International Space Station ISS. During the February 2001 mission STS-98 to the ISS Atlantis delivered the Destiny Module the primary operating facility for U.S. research payloads aboard the ISS. The five-hour 25-minute third spacewalk performed by astronauts Robert Curbeam and Thomas Jones during STS-98 marked NASA's 100th extra vehicular activity in space. The Quest Joint Airlock was flown and installed to the ISS by Atlantis during the mission STS-104 in July 2001. The successful installation of the airlock gave on-board space station crews the ability to stage repair and maintenance spacewalks outside the ISS using U.S. EMU or Russian Orlan space suits. On ISS assembly flight STS-122 in February 2008 Atlantis delivered the Columbus laboratory to the ISS. Columbus laboratory is the largest single contribution to the ISS made by the European Space Agency ESA. In May 2009 Atlantis flew a seven-member crew to the Hubble Space Telescope for its Servicing Mission 4 STS-125. The mission was a success with the crew completing five spacewalks totaling 37 hours to install new cameras batteries a gyroscope and other components to the telescope. The longest mission flown using Atlantis was STS-117 which lasted almost 14 days in June 2007. During STS-117 Atlantis' crew added a new starboard truss segment and solar array pair the S3/S4 truss folded the P6 array in preparation for its relocation and performed four spacewalks. During the STS-129 post-flight interview on November 16 2009 shuttle launch director Mike Leinbach said that Atlantis officially beat Space Shuttle Discovery for the record low amount of interim problem reports with a total of just 54 listed since returning from STS-125.

‎Cernan Salutes Flag; NL-2009-06-018- HQ Image dated 12/13/1972‎

‎Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration 2009. Part of Apollo 40 years series. Photograph. Very good. Format approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. Image size is approximately 6 inches by 7.25 inches. The caption reads: Eugene A. Cernan Commander Apollo 17 salutes the flag on the lunar surface during extravehicular activity EVA on NASA's final lunar landing mission. The Lunar Module Challenger is in the left background behind the flag and the Lunar Roving Vehicle LRV is also in the background behind him. Apollo 17 was the final mission of NASA's Apollo program. Launched on December 7 1972 with a crew made up of Commander Eugene Cernan Command Module Pilot Ronald Evans and Lunar Module Pilot Harrison Schmitt. Apollo 17 was the first night launch of a U.S. human spaceflight and the final manned launch of a Saturn V rocket. While Evans remained in lunar orbit in the Command/Service Module Cernan and Schmitt spent just over three days on the moon in the Taurus-Littrow valley and completed three moonwalks taking lunar samples and deploying scientific instruments. The landing site was chosen with the primary objectives of Apollo 17 in mind: to sample lunar highland material older than the impact that formed Mare Imbrium and investigate the possibility of relatively new volcanic activity in the same area. Cernan Evans and Schmitt returned to Earth on December 19 after a 12-day mission. Apollo 17 is the most recent manned Moon landing and was the last time humans travelled beyond low Earth orbit. The mission broke several records: the longest moon landing longest total extravehicular activities moonwalks largest lunar sample and longest time in lunar orbit. The Apollo program also known as Project Apollo was the third United States human spaceflight program carried out by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA which accomplished landing the first humans on the Moon from 1969 to 1972. First conceived during Dwight D. Eisenhower's administration as a three-man spacecraft to follow the one-man Project Mercury which put the first Americans in space Apollo was later dedicated to President John F. Kennedy's national goal of "landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth" by the end of the 1960s which he proposed in an address to Congress on May 25 1961. Kennedy's goal was accomplished on the Apollo 11 mission when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed their Lunar Module LM on July 20 1969 and walked on the lunar surface while Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit in the Command/Service Module CSM and all three landed safely on Earth on July 24. Five subsequent Apollo missions also landed astronauts on the Moon the last in December 1972. In these six spaceflights twelve men walked on the Moon. Apollo ran from 1961 to 1972 with the first manned flight in 1968. It achieved its goal of manned lunar landing despite the major setback of a 1967 Apollo 1 cabin fire that killed the entire crew during a prelaunch test. After the first landing sufficient flight hardware remained for nine follow-on landings with a plan for extended lunar geological and astrophysical exploration. Budget cuts forced the cancellation of three of these. Five of the remaining six missions achieved successful landings but the Apollo 13 landing was prevented by an oxygen tank explosion in transit to the Moon which damaged the CSM's propulsion and life support. The crew returned to Earth safely by using the Lunar Module as a "lifeboat" for these functions. Apollo used Saturn family rockets as launch vehicles which were also used for an Apollo Applications Program which consisted of Skylab a space station that supported three manned missions in 1973-74 and the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project a joint Earth orbit mission with the Soviet Union in 1975. Apollo set several major human spaceflight milestones. It stands alone in sending manned missions beyond low Earth orbit. Apollo 8 was the first manned spacecraft to orbit another celestial body while the final Apollo 17 mission marked the sixth Moon landing and the ninth manned mission beyond low Earth orbit. The program returned 842 pounds 382 kg of lunar rocks and soil to Earth greatly contributing to the understanding of the Moon's composition and geological history. The program laid the foundation for NASA's subsequent human spaceflight capability and funded construction of its Johnson Space Center and Kennedy Space Center. Apollo also spurred advances in many areas of technology incidental to rocketry and manned spaceflight including avionics telecommunications and computers.
