The MSS Shop

+++ NEW +++

There are two new anniversary postal covers in the Shop: 50th anniversary of Gagarin’s first flight in space, and 30 years of space shuttle operations. These are very limited editions of just 5 each. Contact the MSS shop if you want a printed cover, price is £1.30 plus 60p postage.

There are still some of the 40th anniversary Apollo covers left, we are up to Apollo 14 so far with the rest to follow.

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.

The latest addition is STS-134, Endeavour’s AMS flight to the ISS. Recent press kits include STS-133 Discovery, STS-132 Atlantis and ISS Expedition 25/26. There are also press kits for some unmanned missions such as ATV-2 Johannes Kepler.

CD or disk versions are cheaper than paper versions. All the press kits are Adobe Acrobat .pdf documents and can be supplied 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.
