I am unable to fulfill orders placed between Sept 3 - October 10, 2026, Orders placed in that time will be mailed after October 10. 

 

I am disappointed to have to raise my  TRACKED INTERNATIONAL shippings rates from $14 to $20. This also means a change from USPS to UPS (United Parcel Service) for this service. If I stayed with USPS it would increase to $25. Unforetunately, these rate incrases are out of my control. The most affordable rate is to use untracked postage, which remains $4. Please see my FAQ page.

The Apollo-Saturn 201 (AS-201) mission was an unmanned suborbital flight to test the Saturn IB launch vehicle and the Apollo Command and Service Modules. It was the first flight of the two-stage Saturn IB. The objectives of the flight were to verify the structural integrity, launch loads, stage separation, and operation of subsystems of the Saturn 1B, and evaluate the Apollo spacecraft subsystems, heatshield, and mission support facilities. The patch depicts the Saturn IB rising atop a column of fire and smoke and the Command Module re-entering the atmosphere.

The Pegasus satellite program was a series of three American satellites launched in 1965 to study the frequency of micrometeorite impacts on spacecraft. All three Pegasus satellites were launched by Saturn I rockets, and remained connected with their upper stages.
 
In November of 1965, Elliot See, Jr. and Charles Bassett II were selected as the prime crew of Gemini IX. Bassett and See were killed on February 28, 1966, when their T-38 trainer jet crashed. 2015 marks the 50th anniversary of their selection as the prime crew. The patch celebrates their selection and remembers their contribution to the US space program.
Patch design depicts one of the astronauts on an EVA with their capsule in the foreground and Earth below. The astronaut is reaching toward the moon, the ultimate goal of the space program at the time.
