Description:

This collection features 11 distinct $5 prepaid telecom phone cards spotlighting historic NASA space exploration events and spacecraft imagery. Each card is marked with a "NASA" identifier followed by a unique number, and includes the classic NASA "meatball" insignia or iconic photos tied to key milestones in space history. The cards present vivid photographic visuals accompanied by specific event captions in white or red text at the bottom, detailing the scenes depicted.

Highlights include the first Space Shuttle Columbia with the text "First Space Shuttle, 'Columbia'," showcasing the shuttle attached to its external fuel tank and boosters. Another card shows Columbia’s historic first launch on April 12, 1981, with the shuttle ascending amidst fiery exhaust and clouds. The lunar module "Eagle" from Apollo 11 is shown on the Moon's surface with a suited astronaut, captioned "Lunar Module 'Eagle' Apollo 11 First Landing on Moon July 20, 1969." The collection also features Discovery’s flared landing on January 30, 1992, at Edwards Air Force Base, and Atlantis atop the Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft lifting off on December 8, 1991.

Other notable cards depict major moments such as the "Freedom 7" rocket launch with Alan B. Shepard on March 3, 1961, the "Meatball" logo on an aircraft trainer wing dated October 1, 1958, and the Shuttle Endeavor atop its crawler transporter platform. One card highlights the Apollo 11 astronaut setting up experiments on the lunar surface dated July 30, 1969, and one card shows Columbia and Discovery at launch complex 39 of Kennedy Space Center on September 5, 1990. Each card features a small phone icon and prepaid telecom branding in the lower right corner.

These visually compelling memorabilia cards represent significant milestones in NASA’s history, chronicling key space missions, launches, landings, and astronaut achievements with real NASA photographs captured mainly at Kennedy Space Center and other associated locations. They offer a detailed pictorial summary of the early era of space travel, shuttle missions, and lunar exploration in the 20th century.
