STS-124 Medallic Cover

Own Limited-Edition Discovery STS-124 Silk Cover with Official Medal

Produced by Colorano, this cover honors Space Shuttle Discovery’s 35th mission, STS-124.  It highlights the launch of the shuttle and includes an official medal showing the mission patch.

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-124.  The cover bears patriotic a US stamp and postmark featuring the launch date. 

The bronze medal displays the design of the mission patch.  The Space Shuttle is shown docked at the International Space Station.  The last names of the astronauts can be found around the edge of the patch.

STS-124 was launched on May 25, 2008, and returned to Earth on June 14.  During its 13-day mission, it transported a portion of the Japanese Experiment Module (represented by the cylinder shape on the mission patch) and a robotic arm to the ISS.
