STS-133 marks the last flight of the space shuttle orbiter Discovery. It is not too late to prepare a cover marking Discovery's time in space.

Find an STS-41D launch cover in your collection from August 30, 1984. Add a second postage stamp to the right lower part of the envelope, under the original postmark. Send the cover with a self-addressed, stamped return envelope and a letter requesting a hand cancel for the landing of Discovery to:

STS-133 Landing Cancel
c/o Postmaster
Kennedy Space Center FL 32815-9998

You will eventually receive a double cancel cover marking the lifespan of Discovery. The same procedure can also be used for the remaining orbiters.

All times are CT (US)
