Kennedy Space Center, FL: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 1988. First Day Cover--original issue, canceled Oct. 3 1988. First Day Cover. 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. More

Section three takes an in-depth look at ground-based and airborne planetary astronomy, while section four examines earth-orbital planetary astronomy. In each section, accomplishments and future missions are evaluated as to success and importance. Finally, the fifth section provides overall conclusions and recommendations. The goal of planetary exploration is to understand the nature and development of the planets, as illustrated by pictures from the first two decades of spacecraft missions and by the imaginations of space artists. Planets, comets, asteroids, and moons are studied to discover the reasons for their similarities and differences. More
