| Sally Ride was selected as an astronaut in NASA's eighth class (1978). Her first mission was in 1983 when she flew as a mission specialist on STS-7. During this mission, she became the first American woman to fly in space. Next, she served as a mission specialist on board STS-41-B in 1984. She retired from the astronaut corps in 1987 having spent 14 days in space. My Collection: Above is an official NASA 8x10 litho which she as autographed. Below is an astronaut water survival cover which Ride has autographed (as have 13 other astronauts). Below the cover is a close up of her signature. |
