STS-125 Launch Cover

Own Limited-Edition Atlantis STS-125 Silk Launch Cover

Produced by Colorano, this cover honors the launch of the Space Shuttle Atlantis’ 30th mission, STS-125.

These popular Colorano covers feature “silk” cachets that are produced through a special screening process and then bonded to the envelope.  The cachet pictures a photo of the crew and is surrounded by a golden border.  It bears a patriotic US stamp and launch date.  You can discover the story behind the cover with the informative caption next to the cachet.

Launched on May 11, 2009, STS-125 was the fifth and final shuttle mission to the Hubble Telescope and the last solo flight of the Atlantis.   STS-125 brought two instruments to the Hubble Telescope and replaced several others.  The upgrades performed on this mission helped Hubble to see farther into the universe than ever before.  They also brought an IMAX camera with them to film their mission for the 2010 film, Hubble.
