Does anyone know if a commemorative launch program was issued for the launch of STS-135? I've not seen any copies for sale either on eBay or at Kennedy Space Center (though they seem to have a surplus of STS-132). |

You mean the multipage booklet on sale at the gift shop? I do have one, although of course, I can't find it right now. |

Yes, I bought two STS-135 launch programs from the KSC online store (thespaceshop.com) in July 2011. |

Thanks guys. I've got the "final" flight program, but not this one. |

I too have the STS-135 program, but not the "Grand Finale" one. Is there a difference? |

No idea. To be clear, I did not attend the 135 launch; I bought the program from KSC's online shop concurrent with the mission. Perhaps there was a variation available to those in attendance, though if that was the case, "Official Launch Program" would seem to be a bit disingenuous. Incidentally, I also have an "official" 132 program (also purchased from KSC) with the banner blurb "Final Flight of Space Shuttle Atlantis" across the top cover. |

I have the programs for each of the last 3 shuttle flights. In truth, there is little difference between any of them for the bulk of the publication so I'd imagine the "Grand Finale" edition would be similar. |

I was at the launch, where I bought the program, and it has the "Grand Finale" tagline across the top. quote:

If it does not have "Grand Finale" across the top, what does it have? |

I think that there is a possible mix-up with the STS-132 Final Flight Atlantis program and STS-135 Atlantis Grand Finale program. GoesTo11 mentions it but this may help: |

Does any collectSPACE member have an additional STS-135 commemorative launch program that they would be willing to sell to me? I have the STS-132, STS-133 and STS-134 programs and need this one as well. Thank you. |

I will be heading to the KSCVC next week and will see if they have any there. I am sure that I spotted it 6 weeks ago when I was there last. If you get no better offers I can get you one and mail it to you. Please let me know, my e-mail address should be in my details. |
