This NASA-issued lithograph features the seven smiling faces of the crewmembers of Space Shuttle mission STS-67-Stephen Oswald (Commander), William Gregory (Pilot), Wendy Lawrence (Mission Specialist), Tamara Jernigan (Mission Specialist), John Grunsfeld (Mission Specialist), Samuel Durrance (Payload Specialist) and Ronald Parise (Payload Specialist)- and has been signed by each astronaut.
The lithograph is from Lawrence's personal collection. She tells the ASF: "We probably signed it while in quarantine."
STS-67, or "Astro 2," was a human spaceflight mission on board Space Shuttle Endeavor from March 2, 1995 - March 18, 1995. It was the second dedicated Spacelab mission during which astronauts conducted astronomical observations of ultraviolet radiation, leading to astronomers' further understanding of the universe.
