ground control to major tom...

 Here's something geekalicious for the Holidays!

  Five 1963 Goddard Space Flight Center Satellite Information Cards.

A wonderful set of cards picturing and explaining the Syncom, OSO, Nimbus, Ariel I, and Tiros satellites. Although not dated, Syncom was noted to have been launched in February, 1963, and Nimbus “will be launched in 1963”. So we’re gonna go out on a limb and guess- 1963.

5 cards. 3.5”x2.5”. Minor soil, light wear.  $35
