Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA 2011. Presumed First Edition First printing thus multiple originals produced. Single sheet printed on both sides. Very good. Two sided Fact Sheet The front side gives an overview of NASA's fifth and final space shuttle orbiter. There is a graphic of the orbiter on the booster. The back side provides information on 24 completed missions and a planned 25th targeted for 4/19/2011. Ephemeral item likely one of relatively few surviving copies. Space Shuttle Endeavour Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-105 is a now retired orbiter from NASA's Space Shuttle program and the fifth and final operational Shuttle built. It embarked on its first mission STS-49 in May 1992 and its 25th and final mission STS-134 in May 2011. STS-134 was expected to be the final mission of the Space Shuttle program but with the authorization of STS-135 by the United States Congress Atlantis became the last shuttle to fly. The United States Congress approved the construction of Endeavour in 1987 to replace the Space Shuttle Challenger which was destroyed in 1986. NASA chose on cost grounds to build much of Endeavour from spare parts rather than refitting the Space Shuttle Enterprise and used structural spares built during the construction of Discovery and Atlantis in its assembly. Following the loss of Challenger in 1986 NASA was authorized to begin the procurement process for a replacement orbiter. A major refit of the prototype orbiter Enterprise was looked at and rejected on cost grounds with instead the cache of structural spares that were produced as part of the construction of Discovery and Atlantis earmarked for assembly into the new orbiter. Assembly was completed in July 1990 and the new orbiter was rolled out in April 1991. As part of the process NASA ran a national competition for schools to name the new orbiter—the criteria included a requirement that it be named after an exploratory or research vessel with a name "easily understood in the context of space"; entries included an essay about the name the story behind it and why it was appropriate for a NASA shuttle and the project that supported the name. Amongst the entries Endeavour was suggested by one-third of the participating schools with President George H. W. Bush eventually selecting it on the advice of the NASA Administrator Richard Truly. Endeavour was delivered by Rockwell International Space Transportation Systems Division in May 1991 and first launched a year later in May 1992 on STS-49. Endeavour cost $1.7 billion to build. The orbiter is named after the British HMS Endeavour the ship which took Captain James Cook on his first voyage of discovery 1768-1771. This is why the name is spelled in the British English manner rather than the American English "Endeavor". This has caused confusion including when NASA itself misspelled a sign on the launch pad in 2007. The Space Shuttle carried a piece of the original wood from Cook's ship inside the cockpit. The name also honored Endeavour the command module of Apollo 15 which was also named for Cook's ship. On May 30 2020 Dragon 2 capsule C206 was named Endeavour during the Crew Dragon Demo-2 mission by astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken in honor of the shuttle on which both astronauts took their first flights STS-127 and STS-123 respectively.

Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration c2008. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Single sheet sticker of mission logo patch printed on both sides. Very good. Format is a circle with a diameter of approximately 3.75 inches. Front is a colorful image of a spacecraft with a launch trajectory to a star and a large XX at the base. The top of the image has a red gray and blue arc. The text on the back reads: Expedition 20 Patch Description The Expedition 20 patch symbolized a new era in space exploration with the first six-person crew living and working onboard the International Space Station ISS and represents the significance of the ISS to the exploration goals of NASA and its international partners. The six gold start signify the men and women of the crew. The astronaut symbol extends from the base of the patch to the stat as the top to represent the international team both on the ground and on orbit that are working together to further our knowledge of living and working in space. The space station in the foreground represents where we are now and the important role it is playing toward meeting our exploration goals. The knowledge and expertise developed from these advancements will enable us to once again leave low-Earth orbit for the new challenges of establishing a permanent presence on the Moon and then on to Mars. The blue gray and red arcs represent our exploration goals as symbols of the Earth Moon and Mars. Logos of NASA ad Space Flight Awareness are present as is information on an on-line resource. Expedition 20 was the 20th long-duration flight to the International Space Station. The expedition marked the first time a six-member crew inhabited the station. Because each Soyuz-TMA spacecraft could hold only three people two separate launches were necessary: Soyuz TMA-14 launched on 26 March 2009 and Soyuz TMA-15 followed on 27 May 2009. Soyuz TMA-15 launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome at 10:34 UTC on 27 May 2009. The vehicle docked with the station on 29 May 2009 officially changing the Soyuz TMA-14 crew from Expedition 19 to Expedition 20. Gennady Padalka was the first commander of a six-member station crew and the first commander of two consecutive expeditions Expedition 19 and 20. Nicole Stott was the final expedition astronaut to be launched on the shuttle. <br /> During the expedition Koichi Wakata performed a special experiment wherein he did not change his underpants for one month in order to test a specially-designed underwear without washing or changing; he reportedly did not develop body odor due to the effects of the special garment. The station would not be permanently occupied by six crew members all year. For example when the Expedition 20 crew Roman Romanenko Frank De Winne and Bob Thirsk returned to Earth in November 2009 for a period of about two weeks only two crew members Jeff Williams and Max Surayev were aboard. This increased to five in early December when Oleg Kotov Timothy Creamer and Soichi Noguchi arrived on Soyuz TMA-17. It decreased to three when Williams and Surayev departed in March 2010 and finally returned to six in April 2010 with the arrival of Soyuz TMA-18 carrying Aleksandr Skvortsov Mikhail Korniyenko and Tracy Caldwell Dyson.

Kennedy Space Center FL: National Aeronautics and Space Administration 1988. First Day Cover--original issue canceled Oct. 3 1988. First Day Cover. Good. Envelop contains a 6.25 inch by 3.25 inches card with information on Space Shuttle Discovery printed on one side. This first day cover commemorates STS-26 which was the 26th NASA Space Shuttle mission and the seventh flight of the orbiter Discovery. The mission launched from Kennedy Space Center Florida on 29 September 1988 and landed on 3 October. STS-26 was declared the "Return to Flight" mission being the first mission after the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster of 28 January 1986. It was the first mission since STS-9 to use the original STS numbering system the first to have all its crew members wear pressure suits for launch and landing since STS-4 and the first mission with bailout capacity since STS-4. STS-26 was also the first U.S. space mission with an all-veteran crew since Apollo 11 with all of its crew members having flown at least one prior mission. The crew were Hauck Covey Lounge Hilmers and Nelson. The envelop has a large mission logo on the left side with these five names at the perimeter. The primary payload for the STS-26 mission a Tracking and Data Relay Satellite TDRS was successfully deployed and 11 scheduled mid-deck scientific and technological experiments were carried out. During STS-26 Discovery became the first spacecraft to fly in space equipped with a VCU Voice Control Unit a computer capable of recognizing and responding to human speech. Discovery suffered damage to its thermal protection tiles in the underwing area. Post-flight analysis showed that the impact of a 12-inch long piece of insulation during ascent was the culprit Martha Black sent this to Mr. and Mrs. John Adamsky. Ink notation on back indicates it was sent by Ms. Black. M. M. Black is listed on the staff of the Presidential Commission on the Space Shuttle Challenger Accident as the Personal Assistant to the Vice Chairman and the Executive Director. She was assigned from the Office of Management and Budget. Neil Armstrong was the Vice Chairman. Dr. Alton G. Keel Jr. was the Executive Director and was assigned from the White House staff. One of the addressees Ms. Megan Adamsky led an adventurous life. After graduating from the University of New Mexico she taught school in Los Alamos and Seattle. She then moved to an oil camp in the jungles of Venezuela where she was responsible for educating the children of the oil workers. There she met John Adamsky who remained her loving husband until his death in 1994. His work took them to many parts of the globe from Italy to the Far East. Space Shuttle Discovery Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-103 is one of the orbiters from NASA's Space Shuttle program and the third of five fully operational orbiters to be built. Its first mission STS-41-D flew from August 30 to September 5 1984. Over 27 years of service it launched and landed 39 times aggregating more spaceflights than any other spacecraft to date. The Space Shuttle launch vehicle has three main components: the Space Shuttle orbiter a single-use central fuel tank and two reusable solid rocket boosters. Nearly 25000 heat-resistant tiles cover the orbiter to protect it from high temperatures on re-entry. The origin of the debris was the forward field joint on the right-hand SRB. Discovery suffered damage to its thermal protection tiles in the underwing area. The damage was such that during re-entry the thermal protection tile eroded almost completely. A similar chain of events ultimately led to the loss of Columbia fifteen years later. Discovery became the third operational orbiter to enter service preceded by Columbia and Challenger. It embarked on its final mission STS-133 on February 24 2011 and touched down for the last time at Kennedy Space Center on March 9 having spent a cumulative total of nearly a full year in space. Discovery performed both research and International Space Station ISS assembly missions and also carried the Hubble Space Telescope into orbit. Discovery was the first operational shuttle to be retired followed by Endeavour and then Atlantis. The shuttle is now on display at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. National Aeronautics and Space Administration unknown
