    Description

    Space Shuttle Program: Large Collection of Crew-Signed Color Photos Originally from the Personal Collection of NASA Spacesuit Technician Alan Rochford. More than seventy official NASA photos- mostly signed by full shuttle crews, as collected by a long-time key NASA spacesuit technician, Al Rochford. He helped suit and strapped many or most of these crews into their spacecraft. A number of the inscriptions are quite complimentary of Rochford's dedication and expertise. An incredible opportunity to own such a comprehensive collection of shuttle crew-signed photos from a NASA insider. Unless otherwise noted, all images are 10" x 8" (horizontal) color NASA lithographed prints and are in excellent condition. Missions are listed numerically, not chronologically, as follows:

    The pre and post sales experience was wonderful and flawless. Heritage has the best in-house operation I have ever seen and their people are not only professional but fun to work with, especially Steve C.

    As for Heritage's online system… Yes the interface is more complex than what we are used to with SAN but what is behind that interface is amazing for sellers and buyers alike. It is real time and for a real serious auction buyer there is nothing better in the auction industry, bar none.
