The cardboard front is still good and the coin is perfect. The space shuttle Challenger launched from Kennedy Space Center crewed by the first flight American female astronaut, Mission Specialist Sally K. Ride. The mission also carried with it the first Shuttle Payload Satellite, SPAS-1, which contained ten experiments and could be held in the shuttle’s payload bay or deployed and recaptured by the Canadian-built robotic arm or Remote Manipulator System (RMS). The mission served as a spaceborne laboratory for the Office of Space and Terrestrial Applications (OSTA-2) payload. Although originally scheduled to land at Kennedy, inclement weather forced STS-7 to land at Edwards Air Force Base on June 24, 1983.
