Space Shuttle all five orbiters – flown material

8×10” laminated presentation containing FLOWN fragments from ALL FIVE Space Shuttle orbiters – Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour!

Originally issued by renowned space expert Ken Havekotte.

Six space shuttles were built by Rockwell International for NASA’s Space Shuttle Program Enterprise (atmospheric flight tests), Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour. Two orbiters were destroyed after launch (Challenger, STS-51L) and during re-entry (STS-107, Columbia). 

The remaining four space shuttles can be viewed in US museums:

Atlantis – Kennedy Space Center, Florida

Discovery – National Air and Space Museum, Washington, D.C.
Enterprise – Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, New York
Endeavour – California Science Center, California

None of the artifacts come from the ill-fated flights STS-51-L and STS-107 but were removed during earlier maintenance.

Certified on the backside.
