Own Limited-Edition Atlantis STS-117 Silk Covers

Produced by Colorano, this set of nine covers honors important moments from the Space Shuttle Atlantis’ 28th mission, STS-117.

These popular Colorano covers feature “silk” cachets that are produced through a special screening process and then bonded to the envelope.  Each cachet pictures a photo from the mission and is surrounded by a golden border.  The covers all bear patriotic US stamps and cancellations relating to events from the mission.  You can discover the story behind each one with the informative captions next to the cachets.

Launched on June 8, 2007, STS-117 included the 250th orbital human spaceflight.  The mission included the delivery of the second starboard truss segment and its energy systems and solar arrays.  The mission was extended by two days, making it the longest of Atlantis’ career.
