STS-72 photographic print signed by Mission Specialist Winston Scott + Atlantis STS-98 photographic print with cargo bay liner signed by Mission Specialist Thomas Jones
Ret. Capt. Winston E. Scott, USN. was assigned to the STS-72 as Mission Specialist 2 (flight engineer) and EVA (spacewalker). He was accepted into NASA’s astronaut training program in April of 1992 having already achieved an accomplished career as a naval aviator and aerospace engineering officer. Scott took part in the final EVA of the mission, working alongside Leroy Chiao as they tested installment hardware. Finally, as part of a spacesuit performance evaluation, he was angled towards deep space and suspended from a satellite platform in temperatures well below 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The entire walk lasted six hours and fifty-four minutes– the longest of the flight.
This framed presentation captures dramatic images from the mission, featuring the moment as Scott exits the airlock of the Space Shuttle Endeavour on January 17th, 1996 at 5:40 UTC. Each limited-edition photographic print has been individually signed by Winston Scott.
Thomas (Tom) David Jones was one of three Mission Specialists on the STS-98. The crew launched February 7th, 2001 at 23:13 UTC aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis, becoming the first human spaceflight of the 21st century. Its primary objective was the delivery and installation of the Destiny Laboratory Module to the International Space Station.
On this, the last of his four career spaceflights, Jones and fellow mission specialist Robert (Bob) Curbeam performed all three extravehicular activities to connect and inspect every technical and structural element of the addition– the third of which marked the 100th spacewalk in United States spaceflight history. This limited-edition photographic print has been individually signed by Tom Jones and is matted to include a piece of genuine flown cargo bay liner from the Atlantis.
