Space Mail - cover carried abroad space shuttle




An STS-8 Challenger Space Shuttle Cover that has been flown in space!
This cover I have has been carried into space aboard the Space Shuttle "Challenger".
In 1983, the United States Postal Service arranged with NASA to carry 165,000 covers on the "Challenger" spacecraft. These are the first covers to be carried into space aboard the Space Shuttle.
Each cover has a unique serial number on the backside
