Stardust Return Capsule

Stardust Return Capsule

 

After a 3 billion-mile journey to rendezvous with a comet, the Stardust return capsule joined the national collection of flight icons Oct. 1, 2008, the 50th anniversary of NASA. The capsule is prominently displayed in the central Milestones of Flight gallery, home to many of the “firsts” of flight, including Charles Lindbergh’s Spirit of St. Louis, Chuck Yeager’s Bell X-1 and the Apollo 11 Command Module.
