STS-4 crew – EAFB landing cover

Rare Edwards AFB Landing Cover – STS-4, Hand-Signed by Ken Mattingly & Hank Hartsfield"

Genuine Edwards Air Force Base landing cover commemorating the return of Space Shuttle Columbia on July 4, 1982, at the conclusion of the STS-4 mission—the final orbital flight test of the Shuttle program. Personally autographed by Commander Thomas K. “Ken” Mattingly II and Pilot Henry W. “Hank” Hartsfield Jr., this piece marks a pivotal moment in NASA history when the Shuttle transitioned from test flights to operational missions. Very scarce and highly desirable, especially in such well-preserved condition, this is a standout collectible for any serious space philately or astronaut autograph collection.
