NASA was established in 1958 succeeding the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics NACA. The new agency was to have a distinctly civilian orientation encouraging peaceful applications in space science. Since its establishment most US space exploration efforts have been led by NASA including the Apollo Moon landing missions the Skylab space station and later the Space Shuttle. NASA is supporting the International Space Station and is overseeing the development of the Orion spacecraft the Space Launch System and Commercial Crew vehicles.

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.
