The product is a special launch edition of the NASA KSC Spaceport News from October 1988, focusing on the STS-26 Discovery mission. This collectible item is centered around the return to flight after the Challenger accident. The accident and subsequent investigation caused a pause in the US space program for two years. The much anticipated "return to flight" liftoff was a tremendous undertaking and viewed by the NASA and KSC workforce with pride and confidence. Morale soared.
Included in this package are additional related items: the official crew picture, STS-26 decal, KSC decal, STS-26 fact sheet, Discovery fact sheet, and most interesting, a copy of the Flight Operations report signed by Dick Truly, NASA Administrator. See pictures
Condition of all items is excellent.
