Liftoff of the Soyuz rocket with four O3b satellites was at 1927 GMT (3:27 p.m. EDT; 4:27 p.m. French Guiana time). Credit: ESA/CNES/Arianespace/Optique du video CSG/JM GuillonThe flight began at 1927:03 GMT (3:27:03 p.m. EDT) with a fiery liftoff from the Guiana Space Center, a European-run spaceport on the northeast coast of South America. The 151-foot-tall Soyuz launcher disappeared into clouds over the jungle launch base, where inclement weather forced two delays in the mission – first from Monday due to unfavorable high-altitude winds, then a 33-minute delay Tuesday to wait for a storm to pass.The three-stage launcher, flying in a modern configuration with a digital flight control system and an upgraded RD-0124 third stage engine, deployed a Fregat upper stage about nine minutes after liftoff to complete the task of placing the four 1,543-pound satellites in an unusual 4,865-mile-high orbit over the equator.From there, the satellites will begin linking customers in developing countries with the global Internet infrastructure, according to O3b Networks Ltd., the startup communications firm which owns the spacecraft.”There is no better reward for Arianespace than seeing the happy faces of our customers in the front row,” said Stephane Israel, chairman and CEO of Arianespace, the French company responsible for marketing and operating Soyuz launcher missions from the Guiana Space Center.It was the second Soyuz rocket launch in less than two hours, coming after a similar Russian-built launcher took off from Kazakhstan with an Earth observation satellite.Officials declared both of Tuesday’s launches successful, and the four O3b satellites are healthy and deployed their power-generating solar panels after separation from the Soyuz rocket and Fregat upper stage, according to Sandrine Bielecki, a spokesperson for Thales Alenia Space, builder of the O3b spacecraft.Within about a week, controllers at Thales will guide the satellites into higher orbits about 5,000 miles above Earth, before activating each craft’s 10 Ka-band transponders and 12 antennas for about three weeks of payload testing.Then O3b officials will wait for another launch of four identical satellites on another Soyuz rocket in September. By late this year, the company aims to launch commercial service of the network, and with the addition of another four satellites next year, O3b will be on a path toward revolutionizing Internet access in the developing world, according to Steve Collar, CEO of O3b Networks, based in the Channel Islands.Collar said one of the first regions to receive access to O3b bandwidth will be the Cook Islands, a tiny island nation in the South Pacific bypassed by terrestrial fiber-optic networks.”That’s all about to change as we open the pipe and deliver about six times more capacity as the Cook Islands have had up to this point,” Collar said.In the coming years, O3b satellites will reach customers across the planet between 45 degrees north and south latitude. Officials say O3b offers the benefits of fiber-optic lines without the costs to maintain them.Founded in 2007 by high-technology entrepreneur Greg Wyler, O3b Networks has raised more than $1.3 billion in financing from shareholders and lenders, including SES, Google, HSBC and Liberty Global.O3b has ordered 12 satellites – including the four spacecraft launched Tuesday – from Thales Alenia Space and booked three Soyuz launches with Arianespace. Artist’s concept of the O3b satellites in orbit. Credit: Thales Alenia Space”For the last few years, our life at O3b has been about building stuff,” Collar said in a post-launch speech. “We’ve been building satellites, we’ve been building ground stations, we’ve been building infrastructure, we’ve been building our company, and from today, that all changes. From today, our business is about you guys,” he said, referring to O3b’s customers.O3b’s name stands for the “other 3 billion,” referring to the number of people beyond the reach of fiber connectivity.”The Internet is now established as the key infrastructure to support every sector of the economy and is a fundamental driver of innovation, productivity and economic growth,” Collar said. “It’s the most transformational technology of our time, and yet this transformational technology is not available to everyone. There are 2 billion people in the world who are connected, and over the next 10 years, a further 3 billion will connect for the first time.”Wyler, who attended the launch with his family, said O3b’s advantage lies in its architecture. O3b’s satellites will fly in an unique medium-altitude orbit well below geostationary communications satellites 22,300 miles above Earth.”You can reach everybody from space, but all the satellites at the time were geostationary, 36,000 kilometers [22,300 miles] in the sky, which meant your Internet traffic had to go all the way up in the sky, causing about a half-second to a second of delay.”Other fleets of communications satellites in lower-altitude orbits, such as the craft owned by Iridium and Globalstar, are designed to serve mobile communications and telephony markets, not broadband Internet.The problem of latency – the time it takes for messages to be sent and received – is solved by building the O3b satellite fleet closer to Earth than geostationary altitudes.”Unless the [satellites] are closer, you’re not going to have a good conversation,” Wyler said, adding O3b promises a latency of 123 milliseconds.O3b and SES, its prime shareholder, have secured rights to deploy up to 120 satellites in medium Earth orbit. If demand for O3b is sufficient, the company could order more satellites beyond the 12 craft already on contract.”I can see a time in the future where O3b will become the largest satellite company in the world,” said John Dick, O3b’s chairman.John Glenn Mission PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The historic first orbital flight by an American is marked by this commemorative patch for John Glenn and Friendship 7.Final Shuttle Mission PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The crew emblem for the final space shuttle mission is available in our store.

The rocket’s nose shroud, payloads and Fregat upper stage were attached later Monday.The Soyuz 2-1a rocket, a modernized version of the Soviet-era launcher, will haul the payloads to different orbits in a more than three-hour mission.Friday night’s blastoff is the first polar orbit mission for the Soyuz from South America. The 151-foot-tall launcher will pitch north from the space center, flying over the Atlantic Ocean before reaching orbit.The orbit is sun-synchronous, meaning the satellites fly over regions of Earth at the same time each day. It is a coveted type of orbit for Earth observation satellites and users relying on consistent imagery of zones across the globe.The Soyuz will propel itself to space in less than 9 minutes, then the launcher’s Fregat upper stage will ignite twice to accelerate to an orbit nearly 435 miles high.The mission’s six satellite passengers are fitted to an ASAP-S adapter, a multi-spacecraft platform designed to accommodate auxiliary payloads above, below and around its perimeter.The 2,138-pound Pleiades 1 satellite, about the size of an SUV, will deploy from the Fregat rocket stage 55 minutes after liftoff. Four minutes later, the French government’s ELISA satellites will simultaneously release from the APAS-S adapter, according to Arianespace, the commercial operator of the Soyuz rocket.The Fregat will fire its engine two more times to lower its orbit to 379 miles before casting free the SSOT reconnaissance satellite for Chile about 3 hours, 26 minutes into the flight.

The Pleiades system is also partially funded by Belgium, Sweden, Spain and Austria.Spain and Italy will receive priority data for military needs under separate agreements with the French defense ministry.Italy and France share data from radar and optical observation satellites for defense purposes. The ORFEO agreement calls for imagery from Italy’s COSMO-SkyMed radar satellite system and France’s Pleiades optical program to be distributed to both nations. The Pleiades satellites each carry a Korsch telescope with a primary mirror 2.1 feet in diameter. Its CCD detectors are 40 times more sensitive to light than those in standard consumer digital cameras, according to CNES.Built by Astrium of France, Pleiades 1 will collect up to 450 images per day with a peak resolution of 70 centimeters, or about 2.3 feet. CNES says special processing can sharpen the images to a resolution of 50 centimeters, or less than 20 inches, placing the satellite among the top commercial observation platforms worldwide.U.S. commercial satellites provide imagery with a resolution of 16 inches, but data for civilian customers are blurred to a resolution of about 20 inches to meet the U.S. government’s regulatory requirements. The U.S. Defense Department only receives the best imagery.Astrium Services will sell Pleiades imagery, along with data from the Spot satellite series, to commercial customers and governments beyond Europe.

Credit: EADS AstriumAstrium also manufactured the quartet of ELISA satellites and Chile’s SSOT spacecraft.The ELISA program is a partnership between CNES and the French defense procurement agency DGA. Each satellite weighs about 265 pounds.Flying together in orbit, the ELISA satellites will locate and characterize radar sites around the world during a three-year mission. According to the French defense ministry, the DGA and the military’s intelligence division will explore uses for the electronic intelligence satellites.French defense officials hope ELISA will help create a catalog of radars for electronic warfare, according to CNES.The 258-pound SSOT satellite is the product of a partnership between the Chilean government and Astrium that included the development of ground control and image processing systems, giving Chile the ability to operate the satellite from within its own territory.SSOT’s 4.8-foot resolution images will be employed in mapping, agriculture, city planning, and natural resource, risk and disaster management. The satellite will also be used for national security applications.STS-134 PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The final planned flight of space shuttle Endeavour is symbolized in the official embroidered crew patch for STS-134.

Russian workers moved the three-stage rocket on a specialized transporter-erector system riding on rail tracks. By midday, the Soyuz was lifted vertical over the launch pad’s cavernous flame trench carved out of granite bedrock. The Sentinel 1A spacecraft, already enclosed inside the Soyuz rocket’s ST-type 13.5-foot-diameter payload fairing, arrived at the launch pad Monday evening before it was lifted into the facility’s 17-story mobile gantry for mating with the Soyuz third stage.The Soyuz fairing, Sentinel 1A payload and the mission’s Fregat-M upper stage are collectively referred to as the “upper composite” of the launcher.See our for the latest news on the mission.

Credit: ULA videoThe massive rocket was placed atop its West Coast pad this week, rolling out of the hangar at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on Monday and going vertical Tuesday for a high-profile mission to deliver a National Reconnaissance Office spacecraft into polar orbit.Liftoff is targeted for Aug. 28.Located on the southern stretches of the base and hidden in a bowl of hills, the Space Launch Complex-6 pad avoids the prying eyes of the public for performing hush-hush military spaceflights.The secluded site was first conceived in the 1960s for launching the Manned Orbiting Laboratory project using Titan 3 boosters and modified Gemini B capsules, but it was cancelled in the midst of construction in favor of unmanned satellites.The site was reborn in the 1980s for classified Air Force missions of the space shuttle, but that effort was cancelled in the final phases of construction after Challenger in favor of unmanned rockets.SLC-6 supported a handful of small Athena rockets in the late 1990s before becoming the West Coast home to the Delta 4, part of the Pentagon’s Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle fleet.After launching an NRO bird and an Air Force weather satellite in separate flights in 2006 using single-core Delta 4-Medium-type rockets, the site underwent an upgrade to accommodate a Heavy, the triple-barrel power necessary to haul much larger cargos into space.

Posted: February 5, 2007Sea Launch’s command ship and its slightly wounded rocket platform are sailing back to port, just days after the heart-stopping explosion that destroyed a Zenit 3SL booster and its communications satellite cargo at liftoff. The Sea Launch vessels — Odyssey in foreground and Commander in distance — head for home. Credit: Sea LaunchThe international company Monday released three photographs showing the vessels departing the equatorial launch site in the Pacific Ocean bound for the trip to Home Port in Long Beach, California.The Sea Launch Commander, housing the control center and all personnel, was positioned a few miles uprange from the Odyssey launch platform when disaster struck the 20-story rocket. No one was hurt in the blast.But the converted Norwegian oil-drilling platform that carries the rocket from California to the equator and serves as the floating launch pad felt the fury as the booster exploded in a fireball. Remarkably, the platform survived without sustaining major damage.”We’re very, very pleased to have the vessels underway,” said Sea Launch spokeswoman Paula Korn. “To be able to see those vessels sailing is big for us.”The voyage typically takes a couple of weeks. The platform has been staffed with a crew of 55 to 60 for the journey home, Korn estimated. The Odyssey platform escape the explosion without major damage. Credit: Sea LaunchThe most significant injury to Odyssey was the loss of its rocket flame deflector, but officials have begun looking at options to repair the platform. Once back in port, teams will examine the vessel and determine what work is required, Korn said. Whether the repairs can be accomplished in Long Beach is yet to be determined.The partner firms comprising the Sea Launch venture, including the Ukrainian Zenit rocket teams and Russian engine builders, are in the midst of investigating what went wrong as the vehicle was igniting for liftoff carrying the 13,000-pound NSS 8 communications spacecraft.Sea Launch has established its Failure Review Oversight Board to study the partners’ findings, conclusions and recommendations. Kirk Pysher, vice president and chief systems engineer for Sea Launch, will chair the board. It could be a few weeks before the investigation is completed and the information is presented to the oversight commission, officials said.Speculation is rampant on some Internet sites about what system should be blamed for the explosion. Sea Launch, however, isn’t releasing any official information until the investigation runs its course. This aerial view was shot in front of Odyssey. Credit: Sea LaunchThe Zenit’s first stage RD-171 engine shares noteworthy similarities with the RD-180 engine that powers the United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket family. ULA officials said Monday they are watching the investigation, as is the case when any failure hits the space industry, to determine whether the problem that brought down the Zenit could impact Atlas 5.The next Atlas 5 launch is scheduled for February 22 to deploy a cluster of research satellites into space for the U.S. military. The Sea Launch incident hasn’t delayed preparations for the flight thus far.Sea Launch had hoped to fly six commercial satellite deployment missions this year. When flights can resume will depend on the investigation findings and repairs to Odyssey.”We’ve gotten just enormous support from our customers and the whole community. It is just an outpouring,” Korn said.”It’s been incredibly supportive. It’s hard to even describe it because it’s so moving.”STS-134 PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The final planned flight of space shuttle Endeavour is symbolized in the official embroidered crew patch for STS-134.

The Odyssey launch platform departed the Port of Long Beach on Sunday. Photo credit: Sea LaunchThe ocean-going platform left Sea Launch home port in Long Beach, Calif., at about 10:30 a.m. PDT (1:30 p.m. EDT; 1730 GMT) Sunday, according to a Sea Launch spokesperson.It takes nearly two weeks to transit from Long Beach to the launch position along the equator at 154 degrees west longitude about 1,400 miles south of Hawaii.The Eutelsat 3B spacecraft, fueled and encapsulated inside the payload fairing of Sea Launch’s Zenit 3SL rocket, will provide broadband, multimedia and television services over Latin America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. The satellite is owned by Paris-based Eutelsat and is designed on the Eurostar E3000 platform manufactured by Airbus Defence and Space.The Odyssey platform — a converted North Sea oil drilling rig — is due to arrive at the launch site in time to begin the Zenit rocket’s 72-hour countdown.Liftoff is set for May 26 at 5:10 p.m. EDT (2:10 p.m. PDT; 2110 GMT).The bulk of the launch team will leave Long Beach this week aboard the Sea Launch Commander, which doubles as the company’s rocket assembly hangar and control center.The flight with Eutelsat 3B will mark Sea Launch’s 36th mission since 1999. It will be Sea Launch’s first mission since a launch failure seconds after liftoff in February 2013 destroyed a Zenit 3SL rocket and the Intelsat 27 communications satellite.The Zenit rocket’s return-to-flight mission was in August 2013 with an Israeli communications satellite in a launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.Sea Launch puts large commercial telecommunications satellites in orbit using Zenit 3SL rockets comprised of Ukrainian-built first and second stages and a Russian Block DM-SL upper stage provided by RSC Energia. The upper part of the Zenit 3SL rocket, including the Block DM-SL upper stage and payload fairing, is visible during a dry rollout test before departing Long Beach. Photo credit: Sea LaunchNyon, Switzerland-based Sea Launch is 95 percent owned by a subsidiary of Energia.The launch of Eutelsat 3B was delayed from April 15 after a rocket component was damaged during preflight testing at the Long Beach home port. The error occurred during a “dry rollout” of the rocket, in which technicians hoist the Zenit booster atop the Odyssey platform’s launch mount before heading to the launch site.The error caused mechanical damage to the lateral plate on the Zenit rocket’s interstage truss, which connects the first and second stages of the Ukrainian part of the launcher, according to a Sea Launch statement.Workers repaired the damage and conducted a second dry rollout test May 9 before Odyssey’s departure from Long Beach.The Sea Launch Zenit 3SL rocket will deploy the 13,155-pound Eutelsat 3B satellite into a geostationary transfer orbit with an apogee, or high point, of 22,143 miles and a perigee, or low point, of 239 miles.The orbit will be aligned over the equator, an advantage of Sea Launch’s launch site at 0 degrees latitude, reducing the fuel required to boost the spacecraft into its operational perch 22,300 miles above the intersection of the equator and 3 degrees east longitude.Follow Stephen Clark on Twitter: .Final Shuttle Mission PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The crew emblem for the final space shuttle mission is now available in our store.

The Zenit 3SL rocket undergoes a “dry rollout” on the Odyssey launch platform March 29. Photo credit: Sea LaunchThe company’s Zenit 3SL rocket was set to boost the Eutelsat 3B communications satellite into orbit April 15 from a mobile ocean-based launch platform, marking Sea Launch’s first mission since a launch failure seconds after liftoff in February 2013.Sea Launch’s Odyssey launch platform and Sea Launch Commander control ship were due to depart home port in Long Beach, Calif., in the first week of April.One of the final milestones before the vessels left California for the equatorial Pacific launch site was the attachment of the Eutelsat 3B spacecraft to the Zenit 3SL launcher inside the Sea Launch Commander control ship, which also serves as an assembly hall for the company’s rockets.Once the rocket was attached to its satellite payload, technicians transferred the integrated vehicle to the adjacent Odyssey platform for a final check on top of the vessel’s launch mount.The Switzerland-based, Russian-owned launch services provider said a “discrepancy in the nominal movement of the cable-mast and the Zenit 2S [launch vehicle] lateral plate occurred while installing the [rocket] onto the launch pad.”The Zenit 2S name refers to the rocket’s core two-stage vehicle, which is designed and built in Ukraine by Yuzhnoye and Yuzhmash. The basic Zenit 2S booster is topped by a Block DM-SL upper stage supplied by Energia, the Moscow-based space contractor which also owns a majority stake in Sea Launch.Sea Launch said in a statement the error on the launch pad March 29 caused mechanical damage to the lateral planet on the Zenit rocket’s interstage truss, which connects the first and second stages of the Ukrainian part of the launcher.”A decision was made to de-mate the payload unit and Block DM-SL aboard the Sea Launch Commander to resolve the issue, establish the root cause and perform additional checks of the interface between the launch vehicle and ground support equipment connectors,” the statement said.Eutelsat 3B is one of two Sea Launch missions with firm payload assignments. A dual-payload launch with Russian and Angolan communications satellites is on the manifest for 2016.Sergey Gugkaev, Sea Launch’s CEO, said in March the company was negotiating with a customer for another launch opportunity by the end of 2014.Sea Launch also has several more contract options with satellite operators.Manufactured by Airbus Defence and Space, Eutelsat 3B will provide broadband, multimedia and television services over Latin America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. The spacecraft is owned by Paris-based Eutelsat.Follow Stephen Clark on Twitter: .STS-134 PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The final planned flight of space shuttle Endeavour is symbolized in the official embroidered crew patch for STS-134.

The Zenit 3SL rocket lifts off from the Odyssey launch platform at 2110 GMT (5:10 p.m. EDT) Monday. Photo credit: Sea LaunchThe 200-foot-tall launcher soared into blue skies over the equatorial Pacific Ocean after igniting its RD-171M main engine at 2110 GMT (5:10 p.m. EDT) and ascending from the Odyssey launch platform, a converted North Sea drilling rig acquired by Sea Launch in the 1990s.The Zenit 3SL rocket’s first two stages, designed by Yuzhnoye and built by Yuzhmash in Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine, fired for eight-and-a-half minutes as the booster raced east from the launch site located along the equator at 154 degrees west longitude — about 1,400 miles south of Hawaii.The rocket jettisoned its nose shroud, manufactured by Boeing Co., once it was above the dense lower atmosphere, shedding weight as the launcher gained speed.A Russian-built Block DM-SL upper stage fired two times to accelerate the Eutelsat 3B communications satellite into a geostationary transfer orbit, aiming for an orbit ranging in altitude from 236 miles to 22,244 miles.The 13,155-pound (5,967-kilogram) satellite was deployed by Sea Launch one hour after liftoff.Sea Launch reported the rocket injected the spacecraft into an accurate orbit just a few miles off prelaunch targets. Satellite controllers established contact with Eutelsat 3B a few minutes later, confirming a successful mission on Sea Launch’s first flight since a rocket failure destroyed an Intelsat communications payload in February 2013.Investigators blamed last year’s mishap on a failure inside a hydraulic steering system on the Zenit rocket’s first stage.”I am very pleased to once again announce the successful launch for our valued Eutelsat customer, our third in a row for them,” said Sergey Gugkaev, CEO of Sea Launch. “I wish to express my gratitude to all of our colleagues at the launch site, home port and production and maintenance facilities for their hard work and dedication to Sea Launch program.”The Eutelsat 3B spacecraft will use an on-board engine to raise its orbit to an altitude of 22,300 miles, where its speed will match the rate of Earth’s rotation, making the satellite appear to hover over a fixed location along the equator at 3 degrees east longitude.Eutelsat 3B’s 15-year mission will serve markets in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and Latin America. Artist’s concept of the Eutelsat 3B satellite in orbit. Photo credit: Airbus Defence & SpaceOutfitted with 10 antennas, 51 transponders and flexible beams to tailor coverage to changing market demands, Eutelsat 3B will broadcast television, Internet, and data services to millions of households, businesses and users.”We are delighted to see Eutelsat 3B on its way to 3 degrees East and thank Sea Launch and Energia for this flawless launch,” said Michel de Rosen, chairman and CEO of Paris-based Eutelsat. “Eutelsat 3B will be a powerful asset to our in-orbit resources, enabling us to increase the operational flexibility and reach we provide customers in a vast service area spanning Brazil, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia.”Airbus Defence and Space manufactured the spacecraft for Eutelsat. It carries 30 Ku-band, 12 C-band and nine Ka-band transponders. The Ka-band payload will provide broadband connectivity, including satellite Internet access for air travelers in Brazil.Comprised of components from Ukraine, Russia, the United States and Norway, the Sea Launch system began operations in 1999. After enduring bankruptcy and three launch mishaps, Switzerland-based Sea Launch is under new Russian ownership and has a new chief executive at the helm.In an interview before Monday’s launch, Sea Launch CEO Sergey Gugkaev said the company needs to fly three missions per year at “normal pricing” to break even.”There are lot of variables in that question — the price of the launch, the interest that we need to pay to our financial institutions — but I would say from three launches per year we are break-even,” Gugkaev said.Monday’s flight was Sea Launch’s 36th mission since 1999, and it was the third satellite owned by Eutelsat to fly on Sea Launch.Peter Stier, a company spokesperson, said Monday that hardware for another Sea Launch mission was on schedule to support a launch as early as January 2015, but officials have not identified a payload for the mission. He said the launch provider is “actively talking to customers” about the January launch opportunity.The Zenit rocket’s two-stage core vehicle is “essentially complete” at the Yuzhmash facility in Ukraine, according to Stier, and the Block DM-SL upper stage for the next launch has already arrived from Russia at Sea Launch’s home port in Long Beach, Calif.Stier said Sea Launch has also procured a payload fairing from Boeing for the early 2015 launch opportunity. The Zenit 3SL rocket lifts off from the Odyssey launch platform at 2110 GMT (5:10 p.m. EDT) Monday. Photo credit: Sea LaunchOfficials said the time required to complete prelaunch analysis and flight design products was the primary schedule driver for the next Sea Launch mission. It takes several months to complete those tasks once a payload is assigned to a launch.Five Sea Launch vehicles are in various states of construction to support launches over the next couple of years, Stier said.Industry officials said there has been no interruption to rocket manufacturing at Yuzhmash so far due to the crisis in Ukraine in the aftermath of Russia’s annexation of Crimea. But political turmoil, headlined by tit-for-tat sanctions instituted and threatened by the United States and Russia, have put a cloud of uncertainty over the future of many commercial satellite launches, including those by Sea Launch, which employs approximately 70 full-time workers at its home port in Southern California.Officials worried the sanctions might restrict exports of satellites with U.S.-built components to launch on Russian rockets, but the U.S. government has not revoked any export licenses or denied any new requests since the sanctions were announced.Sea Launch plans to launch the Energia 100 and AngolaSat communications satellites in a dual-payload configuration in 2016. Both satellites are to be manufactured by Energia, giving Sea Launch its first toehold in the Russian commercial launch market.Sea Launch is 95 percent owned by Energia Overseas Ltd., a subsidiary of the Russian aerospace contractor which also builds the Block DM upper stage.Sea Launch says it has multiple launch “commitments” from international satellite operators, plus the deal to launch Energia 100 and AngolaSat.Follow Stephen Clark on Twitter: .John Glenn Mission PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The historic first orbital flight by an American is marked by this commemorative patch for John Glenn and Friendship 7.Final Shuttle Mission PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The crew emblem for the final space shuttle mission is available in our store.
