+++ NEW +++

The Apollo 12 40th anniversary postal cover is now on sale at £1.30 each plus 30p postage. This is a limited edition of 10 numbered copies.

A small number of the previous Apollo 40th anniversary covers are still available. All the Apollo Moon missions will be marked with similar covers to make a complete set.

The MSS emblem is available on a pin badge. The round badge is 38mm (1.5") across with a safety-pin type fixing. Wear it with pride and look out for other MSS members. Badges are £1 each including postage, or a mere 50p each if I can place it directly in your hand.

Press Kits - most space missions have a press kit posted on the Internet. MSS can print off a copy for you. Prices depend on whether it is in black-and-white or colour and loose-leaf or bound.

Atlantis’ recent Space Shuttle mission STS-129 “Stocking the Station” is there to be read along with the latest ISS Expedition 21/22 press kit is now available. Recent press kits include STS-128 “Racking Up New Science” and STS-127 “A Porch in Space”.

CD or disk versions are cheaper than paper versions. All the press kits are Adobe Acrobat .pdf documents and can be supplied on a 3.5" disk (Yes! I still have some!) if the document is small, or on a CD which will hold several or even a DVD which hold absolutely loads.

The Acrobat reader software can be supplied free if you need it. Contact the shop for information on the kits we have available or if there is one you want. Alternatively to download yourself visit the Adobe web site.
