STS-113 Return Cover

Own Limited-Edition Endeavour STS-113 Silk Return Cover

Produced by Colorano, this cover honors the return of the 19th flight of Space Shuttle Endeavour.

Popular Colorano covers feature “silk” cachets that are produced through a special screening process and then bonded to the envelope.  The cachet on this cover pictures an in-flight photo of the STS-113, Expedition 5 and Expedition 6 crews.  The image is surrounded by a golden border.  The cover bears a patriotic US stamp and cancellation marking the return of the mission.  You can discover the story behind the image with the informative caption next to the cachet.

STS-113 was launched on November 24, 2002, and returned to Earth on December 7, after flying 5.6 million miles.  Endeavour carried the Expedition 6 crew to the International Space Station and returned with the Expedition 5 crew.  The shuttle’s cargo bay contained a truss segment that added support to the radiators aboard the ISS.
