Own Limited-Edition Discovery STS-116 Silk Cover with Official Medal
Produced by Colorano, this cover honors Space Shuttle Discovery’s 33rd mission, STS-116. It features the launch of the space shuttle, along with an official mission medal.
Popular Colorano covers feature “silk” cachets that are produced through a special screening process and then bonded to the envelope. The cachet pictures the launch of STS-116 surrounded by a golden border. The cover bears a patriotic US stamp and cancellation marking the launch date.
The bronze medal features the mission patch showing the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station. The US flag is seen alongside the flag of Sweden, honoring that country’s first astronaut, Christer Fuglesang. The last names of the crew surround the central image.
STS-116 was launched on December 11, 2006, and returned to Earth on December 19. It flew to the International Space Station, where it delivered a truss segment. This was installed and a major rewiring of the ISS power supply was completed. Personnel that had been at the ISS returned to Earth on Discovery.
This cover would make a neat addition to your collection. Order yours now.
