Washington DC: National Astronautics and Space Administration 1984. Presumed First Edition First printing. This is one of multiple originals issued. Single sheet printed on both sides. Very good. The format is approximately 8 inches by 10 inches. This is a single sheet with imagery on the front side and printing on both sides in a plastic sleeve. On the front side is a large color photograph of the Orbiter Discovery on Launch Pad. Space Shuttle Discovery Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-103 is a retired American Space Shuttle orbiter. The spaceplane was 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 had 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. 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 among other satellites. 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. The name Discovery was chosen to carry on a tradition based on ships of exploration2 primarily HMS Discovery one of the ships commanded by Captain James Cook during his third and final major voyage from 1776 to 1779 and Henry Hudson's Discovery which was used in 1610-1611 to explore Hudson Bay and search for a Northwest Passage. Other ships bearing the name have included HMS Discovery of the 1875-1876 British Arctic Expedition to the North Pole and RRS Discovery which carried the 1901-1904 Discovery Expedition to Antarctica led by Captain Scott. Space Shuttle Discovery launched the Hubble Space Telescope and conducted the second and third Hubble service missions. It also launched the Ulysses probe and three TDRS satellites. Twice Discovery was chosen as the "Return To Flight" Orbiter first in 1988 after the loss of Challenger in 1986 and then again for the twin "Return To Flight" missions in July 2005 and July 2006 after the Columbia disaster in 2003. Project Mercury astronaut John Glenn who was 77 at the time flew with Discovery on STS-95 in 1998 making him the oldest person to go into space at that time in history. On May 27 1999 Discovery was launched on STS-96 the first shuttle mission to dock with the International Space Station. Discovery was retired after completing its final mission STS-133 on March 9 2011. The spacecraft is now on display in Virginia at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center an annex of the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum. National Astronautics and Space Administration unknown

Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration 2007. Presumed First Edition First printing. Comb binding. Very good. 50 pages including covers. Decorative front cover. Phoenix was an uncrewed space probe that landed on the surface of Mars on May 25 2008 and operated until November 2 2008. Phoenix was operational on Mars for 157 sols 161 days. Its instruments were used to assess the local habitability and to research the history of water on Mars. The mission was part of the Mars Scout Program; its total cost was $420 million including the cost of launch. The multi-agency program was led by the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at the University of Arizona with project management by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Academic and industrial partners included universities in the United States Canada Switzerland Denmark Germany the United Kingdom NASA the Canadian Space Agency the Finnish Meteorological Institute Lockheed Martin Space Systems MacDonald Dettwiler & Associates MDA in partnership with Optech Incorporated Optech and other aerospace companies. It was the first NASA mission to Mars led by a public university. Phoenix was NASA's sixth successful landing on Mars from seven attempts and the first in Mars' polar region. The lander completed its mission in August 2008 and made a last brief communication with Earth on November 2 as available solar power dropped with the Martian winter. The mission was declared concluded on November 10 2008 after engineers were unable to re-contact the craft. JPL declared the lander to be dead. The program was considered a success because it completed all planned science experiments and observations. The mission had two goals. One was to study the geological history of water the key to unlocking the story of past climate change. The second was to evaluate past or potential planetary habitability in the ice-soil boundary. Phoenix's instruments were suitable for uncovering information on the geological and possibly biological history of the Martian Arctic. Phoenix was the first mission to return data from either of the poles and contributed to NASA's main strategy for Mars exploration "Follow the water." A press kit often referred to as a media kit is a pre-packaged set of promotional materials that provide information about a person company organization or cause and which is distributed to members of the media for use. Press kits are often distributed to announce a release or for a news conference.<br /> Traditionally the term "press kit" referred to a set of documents photographs such as publicity stills and other relevant materials packaged together and such a kit was designed to be sent to a newspaper or magazine as part of an organization's public relations or promotional program. There is no universal guide to the elements that should be included in a press kit or media kit but the following are common components: Backgrounder with historical information on the company or individual; Fact sheet listing specific features statistics or benefits; Biographies of key executives individuals artists etc.; Past press coverage; Photos or other images; a press release; and media contact information.

Goddard Space Flight Center Greenbelt MD: National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Flight Center 2009. Presumed First Edition First printing. Single sheet printed on both sides. Very good. The format is approximately 10 inches by 8 inches. This can be used either as a poster or a fact sheet. The front side has a photograph of Pillar in the Carina Nebula. The other side has two columns. The first is text related to Pillar and associated vocabulary. The other has a nice Hubble image with text in a box and NASA contact information underneath. The Space Telescope Institute and the European Space Agency logos are present next to the NASA logo at the bottom right. The Carina Nebula lies within our own galaxy approximately 7500 light-years away. Near the heart of the nebula lies Eta Carinae – a system of at least two stars the largest of which Eta Car A is around 100 times as massive as the Sun and 5 million times as luminous. Stars of this size are extremely rare; our galaxy is home to hundreds of billions of stars but only tens of them are in the mass range of Eta Car A. The image above is a mosaic assembled from 48 frames taken with Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys. The Hubble exposures were taken in the light of ionized hydrogen. Color information was added using data taken through three filters at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. Red corresponds to sulfur green to hydrogen and blue to oxygen emission. This view of the Carina Nebula provided astronomers the opportunity to explore the process of star birth at a new level of detail. The hurricane-strength blast of stellar winds and blistering ultraviolet radiation within the nebula is compressing the surrounding walls of cold hydrogen. This is triggering a second stage of star formation. The Carina Nebula or Eta Carinae Nebula catalogued as NGC 3372; also known as the Great Carina Nebula is a large complex area of bright and dark nebulosity in the constellation Carina located in the Carina–Sagittarius Arm of the Milky Way galaxy. The nebula is approximately 8500 light-years 2600 pc from Earth. The nebula has within its boundaries the large Carina OB1 association and several related open clusters including numerous O-type stars and several Wolf–Rayet stars. Carina OB1 encompasses the star clusters Trumpler 14 and Trumpler 16. Trumpler 14 is one of the youngest known star clusters at half a million years old and contains stars like the O2 supergiant HD 93129A. Trumpler 16 is the home of many extremely luminous stars such as WR 25 and the Eta Carinae star system. Trumpler 15 Collinder 228 Collinder 232 NGC 3324 and NGC 3293 are also considered members of the association. NGC 3293 is the oldest and furthest from Trumpler 14 indicating sequential and ongoing star formation. The nebula is one of the largest diffuse nebulae in our skies. Although it is four times as large as and even brighter than the famous Orion Nebula the Carina Nebula is much less well known due to its location in the southern sky. It was discovered by Nicolas-Louis de Lacaille in 1752 from the Cape of Good Hope.<br /> The Carina Nebula was selected as one of five cosmic objects observed by the James Webb Space Telescope as part of the release of its first official science images. A detailed image was made of an early star-forming region of NGC 3324 known as the Cosmic Cliffs. National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Goddard Space Flight Center unknown
Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration 1959. Contemporary print. Photograph. Good. Sheet is approximately 8 inches by 10.5 inches. Black and white photographic image is approximately 9 inches by 6.5 inches. This is printed on photographic paper stock. The image is of a Pilot/Astronaut in a flight suit/spacesuit seated on a chair. Based on comparison with NASA early photographs of the Mercury 7 Astronauts this appears to be an astronaut in their spacesuit. It may be Gordon Cooper in the picture. The photo is contemporary with Project Mercury. 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. On April 9 1959 NASA's first administrator Dr. Keith Glennan announced the names of the agency's first group of astronauts at a news conference in Washington D.C. Now known as the "Original Seven" they included three Naval aviators M. Scott Carpenter Walter M. Schirra Jr. and Alan B. Shepard Jr.; three Air Force pilots L. Gordon Cooper Jr. Virgil I. Gus Grissom and Donald K. Deke Slayton; along with Marine Corps aviator John H. Glenn Jr. This group photo of the original Mercury astronauts was taken in June 1963 at the Manned Spacecraft Center MSC now Johnson Space Center in Houston Texas. The astronauts are left-to-right: Cooper Schirra Shepard Grissom Glenn Slayton and Carpenter. Project Mercury became NASA's first major undertaking. The objectives of the program were to place a human-rated spacecraft into orbit around Earth observe the astronaut's performance in such conditions and safely recover the astronaut and the spacecraft. The Mercury flights proved that humans could live and work in space and paved the way for the Gemini and Apollo programs as well as for all further human spaceflight.
