Description: Four Time Space Shuttle Astronaut Eileen Collins Autographed Book! Retired Air Force Colonel Eileen Collins is a legend in the astronaut corp. She was chosen as a NASA astronaut in January of 1996. She would fly four times in space, as pilot of STS-63, STS-84, STS-93 and STS-114. Colonel Collins would be the first woman to pilot the shuttle and, as commander of STS-93, the first woman to command a Shuttle Flight. The STS-93 mission deployed the Chandra X-ray telescope and nearly resulted in a disaster when a pin punched one of the coolant tubs on one of the shuttle’s main engines. The STS-93 flight was the heaviest flight of the entire Shuttle program. Collins would command STS-114 and doc with the International Space Station. Collins would retire from NASA on 5-1-2006 having logged some 872 hours in space. The item for sale is a hard back, 1st Edition book signed by Colonel Collins. The book and dustcover are in MINT condition. This is her actual autograph, not a copy or autopen. The 316-page book is a fascinating read with pages of color photos. The highlight is the near catastrophic launch of the STS-93 mission. Bid with confidence, your purchase price and shipping are cheerfully refunded if not totally satisfied with the book.
