I
am a space enthusiast and worked as an aerospace engineer for NASA for 37 years
and am selling some items in my collection.
Offered for sale here is a mission poster for the
Deep Space 1 (DS1) Mission.
The poster is 25 x 19 inches in size and is in good condition with no
rips or tears.
Also included are a
mission decal and lapel pin.
The decal
is somewhat rare because it includes an image of Mars on the decal denoting a
planned flyby of Mars.
However, a launch
delay cancelled the Mars flyby and the mission logo was re-designed without the
Mars image.
The new logo design is on
the lapel pin.
DS1 was the first mission in NASA’s
New Millennium Program to test new technologies on spacecraft.
Originally designed to test a dozen new
technologies including the use of an ion engine for spacecraft propulsion, Deep
Space 1 far outstripped its primary mission goals by also successfully flying
by the asteroid 9969 Braille and comet Borrelly.
DS1 was launched on October 24, 1998, on a Boeing
Delta II 7326 launch vehicle from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in
Florida.
The
posters and other items will be shipped rolled up in a cardboard shipping
tube.
Please check out my other auctions
of space memorabilia.
