Houston, TX: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Johnson Space Center, 1990. Presumed produced contemporaneously with the STS - 35 Space Mission. Pin. Diameter of the pin is approximately 2.25 inches. The pin has some wear and soiling. The background is white and around the outer border at the top is STS - 35 and at the bottom is NASA - JSC. In the center are to circles, the center one shows a Shuttle departing earth and entering a star-filled space. The out circle has the names of the crew and its main mission: Brand, Hoffman, Lounge, Parker, Gardner, Durrance, Parise, and ASTRO 1. STS-35 was the tenth flight of Space Shuttle Columbia, the 38th shuttle flight, and a mission devoted to astronomical observations with ASTRO-1, a Spacelab observatory consisting of four telescopes. The mission launched from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on 2 December 1990. Prior to the Challenger disaster, this mission was slated to launch in March 1986 as STS-61-E. Jon A. McBride was originally assigned to command this mission, which would have been his second spaceflight. He chose to retire from NASA in May 1989 and was replaced as mission commander by Vance D. Brand. In addition, Richard N. Richards (as pilot) and David C. Leestma (as mission specialist), were replaced by Guy S. Gardner and John M. Lounge respectively. Fifty-nine year-old Brand was the oldest astronaut to fly into space until F. Story Musgrave, 61 on STS-80 in 1996, and U.S. Senator John H. Glenn Jr., 77 when he flew on STS-95 in 1998. More
John F. Kennedy Space Center, FL: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Kennedy Space Center, 2005. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Pamphlet. The format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. 27, [1] pages, plus covers. Illustrated front cover. Illustrations (some in color). The John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC, originally known as the NASA Launch Operations Center), located on Merritt Island, Florida, is one of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) ten field centers. Since December 1968, KSC has been NASA's primary launch center of human spaceflight. KSC is adjacent to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS). The management of the two entities work very closely together, share resources and operate facilities on each other's property. Though the first Apollo flights and all Project Mercury and Project Gemini flights took off from the then-Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, the launches were managed by KSC and its previous organization, the Launch Operations Directorate. Starting with the fourth Gemini mission, the NASA launch control center in Florida began handing off control of the vehicle to the Mission Control Center in Houston, shortly after liftoff. The center manages launch of robotic and commercial crew missions. Since 2010, the center has become a multi-user spaceport through industry partnerships, even adding a new launch pad (LC-39C) in 2015. Among the unique facilities at KSC are the 525-foot tall Vehicle Assembly Building for stacking NASA's largest rockets, the Launch Control Center, which conducts space launches at KSC, the Operations and Checkout Building, which houses the astronauts dormitories and suit-up area, a Space Station factory, and a 3-mile long Shuttle Landing Facility.

Houston, TX: Johnson Space Center, 1971. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Wraps. Quarto, 4 pages. Wraps. Illustrations. Apollo 14 was the eighth manned mission in the United States Apollo program, and the third to land on the Moon. It was the last of the "H missions," targeted landings with two-day stays on the Moon with two lunar EVAs, or moonwalks. Commander Alan Shepard, Command Module Pilot Stuart Roosa, and Lunar Module Pilot Edgar Mitchell launched on their nine-day mission on Sunday, January 31, 1971. Shepard and Mitchell made their lunar landing on February 5 in the Fra Mauro formation - originally the target of the aborted Apollo 13 mission. 94.35 pounds of Moon rocks were collected, and several scientific experiments were performed. Shepard and Mitchell spent 33½ hours on the Moon, with almost 9½ hours of EVA. In the aftermath of Apollo 13, several modifications had been made to the Service Module electrical power system to prevent a repeat of that accident, including a redesign of the oxygen tanks and the addition of a third tank.

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. More
