Astronaut Cosmonaut Pratiwi Sudarmono signed 1988 US Space FDC. Rare autograph. In October 1985, she was selected to take part in the NASA Space Shuttle mission STS-61-H scheduled in mid-1986 as a Payload Specialist, she would have been the first Asian woman in space if the mission should proceed as planned. Taufik Akbar was her backup on the mission. However, after the Challenger disaster in 1986, the deployment of commercial satellites like the Indonesian Palapa B-3 planned for the STS-61-H mission was cancelled, thus the mission never took place. The satellite was later launched with a Delta rocket. Good condition. All autographs come with a Certificate of Authenticity. We combine postage on multiple winning lots and can ship worldwide.
