‎Mission Patch; STS-92‎

‎Houston TX: National Aeronautics and Space Administration. cloth. Very good. Approximately four-inch diameter with slight bulge for nose of the Space Shuttle. Names of the astronauts ring the image of the Space Shuttle and a piece of space equipment. STS-92 was a Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station ISS flown by Space Shuttle Discovery. STS-92 marked the 100th mission of the Space Shuttle. It was launched from Kennedy Space Center Florida 11 October 2000. STS-92 was an ISS assembly flight that brought the Z1 truss Control Moment Gyros Pressurized Mating Adapter-3 PMA-3 mounted on a Spacelab pallet and two DDCU Heat pipes to the space station. The Z1 truss was the first exterior framework installed on the ISS and allowed the first U.S. solar arrays to be temporarily installed on Unity for early power during flight 4A. The Ku-band communication system supported early science capabilities and U.S. television on flight 6A. The CMGs Control Moment Gyros weigh about 27 kilograms 60 lb and provide non-propulsive electrically powered attitude control when activated on flight 5A and PMA-3 provides shuttle docking port for solar array installation on flight 4A and Lab installation on flight 5A. The mission included seven days of docked operations with the space station four EVAs and two ingress opportunities. Over the course of four scheduled spacewalks two teams of space walkers and an experienced robot arm operator collaborated to install the Z1 Z for zenith port truss structure on top of the U.S. Unity connecting node on the growing station and to deliver the third Pressurized Mating Adapter PMA 3 to the ISS for the future berthing of new station components and to accommodate shuttle dockings. The Z1 truss was the first permanent lattice-work structure for the ISS very much like a girder setting the stage for the future addition of the station's major trusses or backbones. The Z1 fixture also served as the platform on which the huge U.S. solar arrays were mounted on the next shuttle assembly flight STS-97. The Z1 contains four large gyroscopic devices called Control Moment Gyroscope CMGs which are used to maneuver the space station into the proper orientation on orbit once they were activated following the installation of the U.S. laboratory. During the fourth spacewalk astronauts Wisoff and López-Alegría tested the SAFER jet backpack flying up to 50 feet while remaining tethered to the spacecraft.

‎Moon; NL-2009-06-020-HQ Image dated 7/21/1969‎

‎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: This outstanding view of the full Moon was photographed from the Apollo 11 spacecraft during its trans-Earth journey homeward. When this picture was taken the spacecraft was already 10000 nautical miles away from the Moon. On board Apollo 11 were Commander Neil Armstrong Command Module Pilot Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot Buss Aldrin. Apollo 11 was the spaceflight that landed the first two humans on the Moon. Mission commander Neil Armstrong and pilot Buzz Aldrin both American landed the lunar module Eagle on July 20 1969 at 20:18 UTC. Armstrong became the first to step onto the lunar surface six hours after landing on July 21 at 02:56:15 UTC; Aldrin joined him about 20 minutes later. They spent about two and a quarter hours together outside the spacecraft and collected 47.5 pounds 21.5 kg of lunar material to bring back to Earth. Michael Collins piloted the command module Columbia in lunar orbit while they were on the Moon's surface. Armstrong and Aldrin spent just under a day on the lunar surface before rejoining Columbia 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.

‎Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration 2008. Presumed First Edition First printing. Single sheet stiff card stock printed on both sides. Very good. The format is 11 inches by 8.5 inches. Color photograph of a commercial jet airliner with various areas of technology contributions pointed out. The other side has brief text descriptions of eighteen areas of NASA's technology contributions. With more than a century of aviation research heritage NASA’s aeronautical innovators have developed technology through the years that makes air travel safer faster and more sustainable. Their contributions are so widespread that every U.S. airplane and air traffic control tower has something from NASA built right in NASA’s origins trace back to 1915 with the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics which soon established its people and facilities as the world’s leading home for aviation research. Today every U.S. commercial aircraft and air traffic control facility incorporates NASA-developed technology. That heritage continues at NASA where the first “A†stands for Aeronautics and the efforts to safely and sustainably transform aviation for the 21st century are managed by the agency’s Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate ARMD.

‎NASA Fact Sheet: Spacelab 2‎

‎Marshall Space Flight Center AL: Marshall Space Flight Center 1981. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Stapled at upper left corner. good. Quarto. 20 pages Format is approximately 8.5 by 11 inches. Sheets are printed on both sides. Illustrations. Some pages creased and somewhat soiled. STS-51-F also known as Spacelab 2 was the 19th flight of NASA's Space Shuttle program and the eighth flight of Space Shuttle Challenger. It launched from Kennedy Space Center Florida on 29 July 1985 and landed just under eight days later on 6 August 1985. While STS-51-F's primary payload was the Spacelab 2 laboratory module the payload that received the most publicity was the Carbonated Beverage Dispenser Evaluation which was an experiment in which both Coca-Cola and Pepsi tried to make their carbonated drinks available to astronauts. A helium-cooled infrared telescope IRT was also flown on this mission and while it did have some problems it observed 60% of the galactic plane in infrared light. During launch Challenger experienced multiple sensor failures in its center RS-25 engine which led to it shutting down and the shuttle had to perform an "Abort to Orbit" ATO emergency procedure. It is the only Shuttle mission to have carried out an abort after launching. The mission was carried out at a lower orbital altitude. The main objective was to verify performance of Spacelab systems determine the interface capability of the orbiter and measure the environment created by the spacecraft. Experiments covered life sciences physics astronomy high-energy astrophysics solar physics atmospheric physics and technology. The flight marked the first time the European Space Agency Instrument Pointing System was tested in orbit. The George C. Marshall Space Flight Center MSFC located in Huntsville Alabama is the U.S. government's civilian rocketry and spacecraft propulsion research center. As the largest NASA center MSFC's first mission was developing the Saturn launch vehicles for the Apollo program. Marshall has been the lead center for the Space Shuttle main propulsion and external tank; payloads and related crew training; International Space Station ISS design and assembly; computers networks and information management; and the Space Launch System SLS. Located on the Redstone Arsenal near Huntsville MSFC is named in honor of General of the Army George C. Marshall. The center contains the Huntsville Operations Support Center HOSC also known as the International Space Station Payload Operations Center. This facility supports ISS launch payload and experiment activities at the Kennedy Space Center. The HOSC also monitors rocket launches from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station when a Marshall Center payload is on board. In addition to the pallet experiments flown on the Space Shuttle many other experiments were performed onboard Spacelab. This was a reusable laboratory consisting of multiple components including a pressurized module an unpressurized carrier and other related hardware. Under a program overseen by MSFC ten Europeans nations jointly designed built and financed the first Spacelab through the European Space Research Organisation ESRO. In addition Japan funded a Spacelab for STS-47 a dedicated mission. Over a 15-year period Spacelab components flew on 22 shuttle missions the last in April 1998. In early 1990 MSFC's Spacelab Mission Operations Control Center was formed to control all Spacelab missions replacing the Payload Operations Control Center formerly situated at the JSC from which previous Spacelab missions were operated.

‎NASA Patch‎

‎Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration pre-2010. Patches. Very good. Approximately 3 inches in diameter with two small extensions approximately .5 inches on the left side and one longer extension approximately 1 inch on the right side. This is an old style NASA logo patch with the letter A clear with the bar in the center unlike the newer version where an inverted V replaced the A. This was found together with materials dated in 2010. This NASA insignia was first designed in the late 1950s then retired in the mid-1970s. It was reinstated as the official agency insignia in 1992 Information from NASA. The NASA Insignia more commonly referred to as the "meatball" reflects the history and tradition of the Agency and is used in all of the Agency's day-to-day communications materials. Designed in 1959 by former NASA employee James Modarelli the NASA Insignia contains the following elements: The sphere represents a planet; The stars represent space; The vector represents aeronautics; and The orbit represents space travel. The NASA logo dates from 1959 when the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics NACA transformed into an agency that advanced both astronautics and aeronautics-the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. NASA seal--In the NASA insignia design the sphere represents a planet the stars represent space the red chevron in the alternate shape of the constellation Andromeda is a wing representing aeronautics the latest design in hypersonic wings at the time the logo was developed and then the orbiting spacecraft going around the wing. It is known officially as the insignia. The NASA "meatball" insignia--After a NASA Lewis Research Center illustrator's design was chosen for the new agency's official seal the executive secretary of NASA asked James Modarelli the head of Reports Division at Lewis Research Center to design a logo that could be used for less formal purposes. Modarelli simplified the seal leaving only the white stars and orbital path on a round field of blue with a red vector. He then added white N-A-S-A lettering. NASA "worm" logotype--In 1974 as part of the Federal Graphics Improvement Program of the National Endowment for the Arts NASA hired Richard Danne and Bruce Blackburn to design a more modern logo. In 1975 the agency switched to the modernist NASA logotype nicknamed "the worm" a red stylized rendering of the letters N-A-S-A. The horizontal bars on the A's are removed in the worm logo. Retirement and return of the 'worm'--The NASA logotype was retired from official use on May 22 1992 by NASA Administrator Daniel Goldin. The design was used only for special occasions and commercial merchandising purposes approved by the Visual Identity Coordinator at NASA Headquarters until 2020 when it was brought out of retirement by administrator Jim Bridenstine. The reinstated logo was unveiled on the booster for SpaceX's Crew-Demo 2 Mission. This marked its first official use since 1992. National Aeronautics and Space Administration unknown‎

‎NASA Project Mercury Astronauts; Alan B. Shepard Jr Walter M Schirra John H. Glenn Jr. Virgil I. Grissom M. Scott Carpenter Donald K. Slayton Leroy G. Cooper Jr.‎

‎Langley VA: National Aeronautics and Space Administration Langley Research Center 1959. Contemporary reproduction. Photograph. Good. Sheet is approximately 8 inches by 10 inches. Black and white photographic image is approximately 9.5 inches by 5.5 inches. The top margin has the text "NASA Project Mercury Astronauts". The bottom margin has facsimile signatures of each of the astronauts. Internet research indicates that this photograph is of the 7 astronauts inspecting a model of the Mercury launch vehicle and capsule. This research indicates this photograph a very famous one often reproduced was taken at the NASA Langley Research Center on April 30 1959. Photograph has some edge wear and soiling but the image and signatures are clear and clean. This copy is not on photographic paper stock and bears no NASA identification number or other agency markings other than the word NASA in the title. Project Mercury was the first human spaceflight program of the United States running from 1958 through 1963. An early highlight of the Space Race its goal was to put a man into Earth orbit and return him safely ideally before the Soviet Union. Taken over from the US Air Force by the newly created civilian space agency NASA it conducted twenty uncrewed developmental flights some using animals and six successful flights by astronauts. The program took its name from Roman mythology. The astronauts were collectively known as the "Mercury Seven" and each spacecraft was given a name ending with a "7" by its pilot. The Mercury Seven were the group of seven astronauts selected to fly spacecraft for Project Mercury. They are also referred to as the Original Seven and Astronaut Group 1. Their names were publicly announced by NASA on April 9 1959. These seven original American astronauts were Scott Carpenter Gordon Cooper John Glenn Gus Grissom Wally Schirra Alan Shepard and Deke Slayton. The Mercury Seven created a new profession in the United States and established the image of the American astronaut for decades to come.<br /> <br /> All of the Mercury Seven eventually flew in space. They piloted the six spaceflights of the Mercury program that had an astronaut on board from May 1961 to May 1963 and members of the group flew on all of the NASA human spaceflight programs of the 20th century - Mercury Gemini Apollo and the Space Shuttle. Shepard became the first American to enter space in 1961 and later walked on the Moon on Apollo 14 in 1971. Grissom flew Mercury and Gemini missions but died in 1967 in the Apollo 1 fire; the others all survived past retirement from service. Schirra flew Apollo 7 the first crewed Apollo mission in Grissom's place. Slayton grounded with an atrial fibrillation ultimately flew on the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in 1975. Glenn became the first American in orbit in 1962 and flew on the Space Shuttle Discovery in 1998 to become at age 77 the oldest person to fly in space. He was the last living member of the Mercury Seven when he died in 2016 at the age of 95. National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Langley Research Center unknown‎
