| Donald Peterson was selected as an astronaut in NASA's seventh class (1969). His only space flight came in 1983 when he flew as a mission specialist on board STS-6, this was the maiden voyage of the Space Shuttle Challenger. On this mission Peterson, along with fellow astronaut Story Musgrave, became the first men to perform a space walk from the space shuttle. Peterson retired in 1984 having spent 5 days in space. My Collection: Above is an official NASA 8x10 litho which Peterson has autographed and inscribed. Below is a small inscription he added to the bottom of the letter I sent him (this is on a piece of notebook paper) |
