T O P I C R E V I E Walanh_7I have recently seen on auction STS-10 covers signed by Brand, Gibson, McCandles, McNair and Stewart... the STS-41B crew.To my knowledge STS-10 was canceled with Ken Mattingly in command and when the tenth shuttle mission was re-scheduled NASA changed the mission assignment method (STS-41B).Was there ever an official cover with the STS-41B patch? And if not is this the reason the STS-41B crew signed the STS-10 cover?Apollo-SoyuzKen Mattingly was assigned to the STS-10 DOD mission that was delayed due to the IUS problems on STS-6. That mission eventually launched as STS-51C in 1985. Can we see a scan of the cover? ------------------John MaccoSpace Unit #1457alanh_7The cover is for sale on eBay at the moment.Hart SastrowardoyoWithout having seen the cover the possibility exists that whoever made the cover or got the cover signed was under the impression that 41B was STS-10, since it was the tenth shuttle flight.alanh_7That's what I thought. Because the date stamp was close to launch date and the signatures look authentic to me.I was wondering though if there ever was an STS-41B mission cover with the mission patch. I have never seen one.RossI believe you will find that eBay lot 14042101621 is such a cover. I also think I have such a cover tucked away somewhere.
