‎First Day Cover for Space Shuttle Discovery‎

‎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

The format is approximately 8 inches by 10 inches. There is a quarter inch white border around the color image. At the bottom edge in the white space there is the following text: Frank Borman. The color image is of the full face of Frank Borman in business suitfrom mid-thigh up. He is standing next to a model of a launch vehicle/rocker. Across his chest he has inscribed the photograph as follows "To Randy! Frank Borman." The back of the photograph has identifying text and states in part: "FRANK BORMAN one of a group of 9 astronauts selected in September 1962 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administrations. It also states that this photograph is a government publication and not subject to copyright. Frank Frederick Borman II March 14 1928 – November 7 2023 was an American United States Air Force USAF colonel aeronautical engineer NASA astronaut test pilot and businessman. He was the commander of Apollo 8 the first mission to fly around the Moon and together with crewmates Jim Lovell and William Anders became the first of 24 humans to do so for which he was awarded the Congressional Space Medal of Honor. Four days before he graduated with the West Point Class of 1950 in which he was ranked eighth out of 670 Borman was commissioned in the USAF. He qualified as a fighter pilot and served in the Philippines. He earned a Master of Science degree at Caltech in 1957 and then became an assistant professor of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics at West Point. In 1960 he was selected for Class 60-C at the USAF Experimental Flight Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base in California and qualified as a test pilot. On graduation he was accepted as one of five students in the first class at the Aerospace Research Pilot School. Borman was selected as a NASA astronaut with the second group known as the Next Nine in 1962. In 1966 he set a fourteen-day spaceflight endurance record as commander of Gemini 7. He served on the NASA review board which investigated the Apollo 1 fire and then flew to the Moon with Apollo 8 in December 1968. The mission is known for the Earthrise photograph taken by Anders of the Earth rising above the lunar horizon as the Command/Service Module orbited the Moon and for the reading from Genesis which was televised to Earth from lunar orbit on Christmas Eve. During the Apollo 11 Moon landing mission he was the NASA liaison at the White House where he viewed the launch on television with President Richard Nixon. After retiring from NASA and the Air Force in 1970 Borman became senior vice president for operations at Eastern Air Lines. He became chief executive officer of Eastern in 1975 and chairman of the board in 1976. Under his leadership Eastern went through the four most profitable years in its history.

‎From Pattern to Process: The Strategy of the Earth Observing System; Eos Science Steering Committee Report Volume II‎

‎Washington DC: NASA 1987. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. good. Quarto. xiii 1 140 pages. Wraps. Illustrations some in color. Acronyms. Tables. Figures. References. Some soiling to covers. Spine faded. While listed as Volume II of the committee reports this appears to be a stand-alone/complete report. This report was directed primarily at the international Earth observations community. It summarized the current Eos concept. IT showed how this mission could provide the critical space observations needed to understand the integrated functioning of the global cycles of energy water and biogeochemicals. It illustrated by examples how this same set of observations could address the needs of various scientific investigations within the individual disciples of Earth science. It recommended steps that could be taken to prepare for the Earth Observing System. The Earth Observing System EOS represented a new approach to the study of the Earth. It consists of remotely sensed and correlative in situ observations designed to address important interrelated global-scale processes. There is an urgent need to study the Earth as a complete integrated system in order to understand and predict changes caused by human activities and natural processes. The EOS approach is based on an information system concept and designed to provide a long-term study of the Earth using a variety of measurement methods from both operational and research satellite payloads and continuing ground-based Earth science studies. The EOS concept builds on the foundation of the earlier single-discipline space missions designed for relatively short observation periods. Continued progress in our understanding of the Earth as a system will come from EOS observations spanning several decades using a variety of contemporaneous measurements. NASA paperback‎

‎Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope GLAST NASA photograph; LG-2008-3-119-GSFC‎

‎Greenbelt MD/Rohnert Park CA: National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Flight Center/Sonoma State University 2008. Presumed First Edition First printing one of multiple originals published. Single sheet printed on both sides. Very good. The format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. This is a single sheet with printing/imagery on both sides in a plastic sleeve. On the front side is a large color photograph of the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope GLAST. The other side has text largely in a three column format with a two-column illustration of Pulsar Activity at the bottom center and right column. The text addresses GLAST Mission Science The Main Mission Objectives and GLAST Instrumentation and Spacecraft. The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope FGST also FGRST formerly called the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope GLAST is a space observatory being used to perform gamma-ray astronomy observations from low Earth orbit. Its main instrument is the Large Area Telescope LAT with which astronomers mostly intend to perform an all-sky survey studying astrophysical and cosmological phenomena such as active galactic nuclei pulsars other high-energy sources and dark matter. Another instrument aboard Fermi the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor GBM; formerly GLAST Burst Monitor is being used to study gamma-ray bursts and solar flares. Fermi named for high-energy physics pioneer Enrico Fermi was launched on 11 June 2008 at 16:05 UTC aboard a Delta II 7920-H rocket. The mission is a joint venture of NASA the United States Department of Energy and government agencies in France Germany Italy Japan and Sweden becoming the most sensitive gamma-ray telescope on orbit succeeding INTEGRAL. The project is a recognized CERN experiment RE7. Fermi includes two scientific instruments the Large Area Telescope LAT and the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor GBM. The LAT is an imaging gamma-ray detector a pair-conversion instrument which detects photons with energy from about 20 million to about 300 billion electronvolts 20 MeV to 300 GeV with a field of view of about 20% of the sky; it may be thought of as a sequel to the EGRET instrument on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. The GBM consists of 14 scintillation detectors twelve sodium iodide crystals for the 8 keV to 1 MeV range and two bismuth germanate crystals with sensitivity from 150 keV to 30 MeV and can detect gamma-ray bursts in that energy range across the whole of the sky not occluded by the Earth. General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems formerly Spectrum Astro and now Orbital Sciences in Gilbert Arizona designed and built the spacecraft that carries the instruments. It travels in a low circular orbit with a period of about 95 minutes. Its normal mode of operation maintains its orientation so that the instruments will look away from the Earth with a "rocking" motion to equalize the coverage of the sky. The view of the instruments will sweep out across most of the sky about 16 times per day. The spacecraft can also maintain an orientation that points to a chosen target. Both science instruments underwent environmental testing including vibration vacuum and high and low temperatures to ensure that they can withstand the stresses of launch and continue to operate in space. They were integrated with the spacecraft at the General Dynamics ASCENT facility in Gilbert Arizona. NOTE: On 30 April 2013 NASA revealed that the telescope had narrowly avoided a collision a year earlier with a defunct Cold War-era Soviet spy satellite Kosmos 1805 in April 2012. Orbital predictions several days earlier indicated that the two satellites were expected to occupy the same point in space within 30 milliseconds of each other. On 3 April telescope operators decided to stow the satellite's high-gain parabolic antenna rotate the solar panels out of the way and to fire Fermi's rocket thrusters for one second to move it out of the way. Even though the thrusters had been idle since the telescope had been placed in orbit nearly five years earlier they worked correctly and potential disaster was thus avoided.
