This item is a graded space artifact slice, specifically a fragment from an envelope carried into earth orbit in 1983 on board the SPACE SHUTTLE CHALLENGER.
- The Relic: The centerpiece is a small, square-cut slice of a paper envelope ("cover").
- Historical Significance: This specific paper fragment originates from one of the official commemorative postal covers carried inside the cargo bay of the Space Shuttle Challenger during the STS-8 mission in 1983. This historic flight featured the first night launch and night landing of the Space Shuttle program. The complete envelopes carried an Express Mail stamp and bore multiple postmarks tracking the mission's launch and landing dates.
The Holder: The artifact is encapsulated in a hard plastic archival holder graded and authenticated by ICG (Independent Coin Graders), a prominent third-party authentication service. The label states "1983 ICG - Genuine Relic / Envelope Flown in Space Aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger."
