The little Old Glory comes mounted to a certificate signed in print by the astronauts who flew it, mission commander John Young and pilot Bob Crippen.

It is presented to you in recognition of the significant contribution you made to the success of the mission.'' Columbia orbited the Earth 36 times before landing in California at Edwards Air Force Base. Flag measures 5.75'' x 4''. Mounted to an overall size of 8.5'' x 11''. Toning, show-through of adhesive to flag and light staining to certificate. In very good condition.
