# STS79A - STS-79 Launch and Return Covers
Own Limited-Edition Atlantis STS-79 Silk Covers
Produced by Colorano, this set of covers honors the Launch and Return of the Space Shuttle Atlantis’ 17th mission, STS-79 (the 79th mission of the Space Shuttle program).
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 Kennedy Space Center cancellations, the location of the launch and return. You can discover the story behind the mission with the informative captions next to the cachets.
Launched on September 16, 1996, STS-79 was the first US shuttle mission to reach the fully completed Mir space station. The mission also included the first American crewmember exchange – the return of Shannon Lucid. Lucid had spent 188 days in space, a world record for a female astronaut.
