- Scope and content:
Photographs and artifacts pertaining to his mission aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery, January 24-27, 1985. Materials include photographs of launch and landing, patches flown aboard the spacecraft, and information on the flight crew. Designated mission #51C, this was the 15th flight of the Space Shuttle, and the first Department of Defense mission; the flight was for 48 orbits with takeoff and landing at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida.
OTHER NOTES: Publicity of this space flight was restricted by the Department of Defense and it is believed military satellites were the payload of this mission.
Other materials originally donated included scraps of material with the UWF insignia and a vacuum-packed UWF T-shirt, all flown aboard the Shuttle. These were returned at the request of the President's Office to the Office of Development in 1986.
Ed Onizuka, one of the members of this flight crew, was killed in the Challenger disaster in January 1986.
