Space Shuttle: 20 Years "Satellite retrieval" page

Ret. Navy Capt. John O. Creighton signed this page, an image of Dale Gardner retrieving a satellite, because he felt it would show up better than signing small on the facing page, Sultan Bin Salman Al-Saud's essay on "Wear your NASA costumes." Al-Saud flew with Creighton on his first mission, STS-51-G.

 

...Which means I should get Gardner to sign Al-Saud's essay in the event I see him.

 

On this page:

John O. Creighton - Commander of STS-36 which set a shuttle record for highest inclination - 62 degrees, which he mentioned needed special permission as the orbiter ascended over the East Coast - as well as the lowest shuttle orbit, about 110 miles. Kennedy Space Center, Titusville, Fla., 7 Feb. 2013.
