STS-108,SS Endeavour

Own Set of 8 Limited-Edition Endeavour STS-108 Covers

Produced by Colorano, these covers honor STS-108, the 17th flight of the Space Shuttle Endeavour.  They feature photos of the crew and important moments of the mission.

Popular Colorano covers feature “silk” cachets that are produced through a special screening process and then bonded to the envelope.  Each cachet pictures a photo from the mission and is surrounded by a golden border.  The covers bear patriotic US stamps and cancellations relating to events from the mission. 

STS-108 was launched on December 5, 2001, and returned to Earth on December 17, after flying almost five million miles.  Endeavour carried the Expedition 4 crew to the International Space Station and returned with the Expedition 3 crew.  While at the ISS, the crew attached the Raffaello multi-Purpose Logistics Module to the station to add storage for additional equipment and supplies.  They also performed maintenance tasks on the ISS.  The flight was the first space shuttle mission after the 9/11 tragedy.  A flag found near the site of the World Trade Center, first responder badges, and 6,000 small American flags were among the tributes flown on STS-108.
