STS-4 full crew autographed commemorative launch cover signed by both crew members of the Space Shuttle Columbia mission: Ken Mattingly and Hank Hartsfield.
Fine condition.
STS-4 launched aboard Space Shuttle Columbia on June 27, 1982, and served as the fourth and final orbital test flight of NASA’s Space Shuttle program before the system was declared operational. Commanded by Thomas “Ken” Mattingly, best known for his role in the Apollo program and the Apollo 16 Moon mission, with Henry Hartsfield serving as pilot, the seven-day mission conducted extensive engineering and scientific tests to certify the Shuttle for regular service. STS-4 also carried classified Department of Defense experiments, reflected in the “DOD 82-1” designation appearing on related mission material. The successful completion of the mission marked the transition of the Shuttle program from experimental flights into full operational status.
