Vintage 1978 foldout technical illustration of Space Shuttle Columbia (OV-102), from the collection of Donald E. "Doc" Stullken.  
 
Stullken was NASA's Chief of Recovery Operations Branch. From Mercury through Skylab, he was often the first person the astronauts would see as they stepped onto the ship from the recovery helicopter.  He also invented the Mercury Auxiliary Flotation Collar usually referred to as "The Stullken Collar." During Shuttle, Stullken served as Chief of the Training Integration Branch.
 
Much of Stullken's private NASA archive was offered at auction following his death. This technical illustration comes from his personal copy of the "Orbiter Crash and Rescue" technical manual (see photos).

A striking and affordable vintage Shuttle illustration from the personal archive of a significant NASA figure. Will look amazing framed!
