2011Best.-Nr. 86082Houston TX: National Aeronautics and Space Administration Johnson Space Center 2011. Presumed First Edition First printing of multiple originals. 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 four astronauts/Shuttle Crew members. On the other side are primarily four columns of text one column for each of the crew members with a small one-column spread with a picture of the four crew members at the top left corner and a larger two-column spread with an illustration of the STS-135 Mission Patch and a text description. The four crew members were Commander Christopher J. Ferguson Captain United States Navy ret. Pilot Douglas G. Hurley Colonel U.S. Marine Corps Mission Specialist Sandra H. Magnus Ph.D. and Mission Specialist Rex J. Wallheim Colonel U.S. Air Force ret. The STS-135 patch represent the Space Shuttle embarking on its mission to resupply the International Space Station. The Shuttle is centered over elements of the NASA emblem depicting how the Space Shuttle has been at the heart of NASA for the previous 30 years. The Patch also pays tribute to the entire NASA and contractor team that made possible all the incredible accomplishments of the Space Shuttle. Omega the last letter in the Greek alphabet signifies that this mission is the last flight of the Space Shuttle Program. STS-135 ISS assembly flight ULF7 was the 135th and final mission of the American Space Shuttle program. It used the orbiter Atlantis and hardware originally processed for the STS-335 contingency mission which was not flown. STS-135 launched on July 8 2011 and landed on July 21 2011 following a one-day mission extension. The four-person crew was the smallest of any shuttle mission since STS-6 in April 1983. The mission's primary cargo was the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module MPLM Raffaello and a Lightweight Multi-Purpose Carrier LMC which were delivered to the International Space Station ISS. The flight of Raffaello marked the only time that Atlantis carried an MPLM. Although the mission was authorized it initially had no appropriation in the NASA budget raising questions about whether the mission would fly. On January 20 2011 program managers changed STS-335 to STS-135 on the flight manifest. This allowed for training and other mission specific preparations. On February 13 2011 program managers told their workforce that STS-135 would fly regardless of the funding situation via a continuing resolution. Until this point there had been no official references to the STS-135 mission in NASA documentation for the general public. During an address at the Marshall Space Flight Center on November 16 2010 NASA administrator Charles Bolden said that the agency needed to fly STS-135 to the station in 2011 due to possible delays in the development of commercial rockets and spacecraft designed to transport cargo to the ISS. "We are hoping to fly a third shuttle mission in addition to STS-133 and STS-134 in June 2011 what everybody calls the launch-on-need mission. and that's really needed to buy down the risk for the development time for commercial cargo" Bolden said. The mission was included in NASA's 2011 authorization which was signed into law on October 11 2010 but funding remained dependent on a subsequent appropriations bill. United Space Alliance signed a contract extension for the mission along with STS-134; the contract contained six one-month options with NASA in order to support continuing operations. The federal budget approved in April 2011 called for US$5.5 billion for NASA's space operations division including the shuttle and space station programs. According to NASA the budget running through September 30 2011 ended all concerns about funding the STS-135 mission. The reduced crew size also allowed the mission to maximize the payload carried to the ISS.20 It was the only time that a Shuttle crew of four flew to the ISS. The last shuttle mission to fly with just four crew members occurred 28 years earlier. The Multi-Purpose Logistics Module MPLM Raffaello made up the majority of the payload. This was Raffaello's fourth trip to the International Space Station since 2001 and the 12th use of an MPLM. Unlike previous MPLM missions that delivered large compartments and devices to outfit the space station laboratories STS-135 delivered only bags and supply containers. The MPLM was filled with 16 resupply racks which is the maximum that it could handle. Eight Resupply Stowage Platforms RSPs two Integrated Stowage Platforms ISPs six Resupply Stowage Racks RSRs and one Zero-G Stowage Rack ZSR which sits above another rack during transport. On flight day 4 Raffaello was lifted out of Atlantis's payload bay using the station's Canadarm2. It was berthed to nadir port of the Harmony node. After completing the cargo transfers to the ISS Raffaello was loaded with almost 5700 pounds of unneeded equipment and station waste to be brought back to Earth. On flight day 11 the MPLM was detached from Harmony and was secured in the cargo bay of the shuttle. National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Johnson Space Center unknown
2004Best.-Nr. 86160Houston TX: National Aeronautics and Space Administration Johnson Space Center 2004. Presumed First Edition First printing one of multiple originals. 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 seven astronauts/Shuttle Crew members. On the other side are primarily four columns of text with text for each of the crew members with a small two-column spread with a outline with names of the seven crew members at the top center and a half-column spread at the bottom of the fourth column with an illustration of the STS-114 Mission Patch and a text description. The STS-114 patch signifies the return of the Space Shuttle to flight and honors the memory of the STS-107 Columbia crew. The Shuttle rising above Earth's horizon includes the Columbia constellation of seven stars echoing the STS-107 patch and commemorating the seven members of that mission. The crew of STS-114 carry the memory of their mission back into Earth orbit. The dominant design element of the STS-114 patch is the planet Earth which represents the unity and dedication of the many people whose efforts allow the Shuttle to safely return to flight. Against the background of the Earth at night the blue orbit represents the International Space Station ISS with the EVA crewmembers named on the orbit. The red sun on the orbit signifies the contributions of the Japanese Space Agency to the mission and to the ISS program. The multi-colored Shuttle plume represents the broad spectrum of challenges for this mission including Shuttle inspection and repair experiments and International Space Station re-supply and repair. STS-114 was the first "Return to Flight" Space Shuttle mission following the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster. The crew members were Commander Eileen M. Collins Colonel USAF Pilot James M. Kelly Lieutenant Colonel USAF Mission Specialist Soichi Noguchi JAXA Astronaut Mission Specialist Stephen K. Robinson Ph.D. Mission Specialist Andrew S. W. Thomas Ph.D. Mission Specialist Wendy B Lawrence Captain USN and Mission Specialist Charles J. Camarda Ph.D. Discovery launched at 10:39 EDT 14:39 UTC July 26 2005. The launch 907 days approx. 29 months after the loss of Columbia was approved despite unresolved fuel sensor anomalies in the external tank that had prevented the shuttle from launching on July 13 its originally scheduled date. The mission ended on August 9 2005 when Discovery landed at Edwards Air Force Base in California.2 Poor weather over the Kennedy Space Center in Florida hampered the shuttle from using its primary landing site. Analysis of the launch footage showed debris separating from the external tank during ascent; this was of particular concern because it was the issue that had set off the Columbia disaster. As a result NASA decided on July 27 to postpone future shuttle flights pending additional modifications to the flight hardware. Shuttle flights resumed a year later with STS-121 on July 4 2006. STS-114 marked the return to flight of the Space Shuttle after the Columbia disaster and was the second Shuttle flight with a female commander Eileen Collins who also commanded the STS-93 mission. The STS-114 mission was initially to be flown aboard the orbiter Atlantis but NASA replaced it with Discovery after improperly installed gear was found in Atlantis' Rudder Speed Brake system. During OMM for Discovery an actuator on the RSB system was found to be installed incorrectly. This created a fleet wide suspect condition. The Rudder Speed Brake system was removed and refurbished on all three remaining orbiter vehicles and since Discovery's RSB was corrected first it became the new Return to Flight vehicle superseding Atlantis. Seventeen years prior Discovery had flown NASA's previous Return to Flight mission STS-26. The STS-114 mission delivered supplies to the International Space Station. However the major focus of the mission was testing and evaluating new Space Shuttle flight safety techniques which included new inspection and repair techniques. The crewmembers used the new Orbiter Boom Sensor System OBSS - a set of instruments on a 50 feet extension attached to the Canadarm. The OBSS instrument package consists of visual imaging equipment and a Laser Dynamic Range Imager LDRI to detect problems with the shuttle's Thermal Protection System TPS. The crew scanned the leading edges of the wings the nose cap and the crew compartment for damage as well as other potential problem areas engineers wished to inspect based on video taken during lift-off. STS-114 was classified as Logistics Flight 1. The flight carried the Raffaello Multi-Purpose Logistics Module built by the Italian Space Agency as well as the External Stowage Platform-2 which was mounted to the port side of the Quest Airlock. They deployed MISSE 5 to the station's exterior and replaced one of the ISS's Control Moment Gyroscopes CMG. The CMG was carried up on the LMC Lightweight Multi-Purpose Experiment Support Structure Carrier at the rear of the payload bay together with the TPS Repair Box.
