This First Day Cover features a stamp from the Escaping the Gravity of Earth stamp sheet. It pictures the Space Shuttle docked at the International Space Station with Earth in the distance.
Each of the stamps in this horizontal pair pays the rate to send a Priority Mail package. The left stamp, based on a computer-generated NASA image, shows a hologram of a space shuttle docking with the International Space Station. Astronauts working outside the space station are featured on the stamp at the right. That stamp image was developed from an artist's conception. The selvage photograph is of astronauts David Leestma and Kathryn Sullivan working in space shuttle Challenger's open cargo bay in October of 1984.
