Discovery's on-board souvenir shop (STS-105 Official Flight Kit)

August 10, 2001

— With the successful launch of space shuttle Discovery on Friday (Aug. 10), the STS-105 crew has embarked on a flight to bring three residents to the International Space Station, deliver additional scientific equipment and supplies, conduct two spacewalks and return three current expedition crew members to Earth.

They will dock with the station, attach a 20,000 pound "moving van," unstow and install experiments, re-pack the van with refuse, detach and undock all while circling the planet an estimated 190 times in slightly under 12 days.

Also with them are more than 15,000 mementos destined for post-flight presentation to NASA employees, partners, contractors and other friends of the STS-105 crew, space agency and United States government.

Flown for foreign nations, schools and for institutions such as museums and professional organizations, STS-105's Official Flight Kit (OFK) includes flags, banners, emblems, decals, seals, patches, and small medallions — all of which have been hermetically sealed and stowed on-board Discovery for the duration of the flight.

Among the more unusual items are:

  • a part of the first business computer — the Univac — courtesy the Smithsonian Institution;

  • the mascot from Peanuts comic strip creator Charles Schulz' museum; and,

  • an autographed National League baseball flown on behalf the Atlanta Braves.

Once back on Earth, these newly-created collectibles and artifacts will be distributed to their respective sponsors or presented to employees, contractors or representatives of international partners. If past OFKs serve as any model though, a small percentage of the items flown will also find their way to the collectors' market.
