Cover Notes
*Space
Craft Covers (SCC) are the "Cadillac's" of space cacheted covers.
They were the first major producer of space event covers and consistently covered
all major space events exclusively. They distinguished themselves in the significance
of their cachets, which were designed by Carl Swanson, the noted former NASA
space artist. Mr. Swanson's creations were produced in a unique manned by researching
the details of the event AFTER it occurred. Two color cachets were applied to
covers after they were cancelled insuring that all major and factual details
of the cachet were correct. Many covers came with stuffer cards or paper inserts
giving additional details and illustrations of the space event being commemorated.
*Space Craft Covers was operated by Joe Fitzpatrick while Carl
Swanson did all the artwork. Unfortunately when Fitzpatrick died in March 1970
the regular Space Craft cover series came to an end. Carl Swanson announced
that Space Craft would only continue to provide covers for manned events, and
these covers would be called "Manned Space Craft Covers". Covers under
this name were issued for the remaining Apollo flights of Apollo 13 through
17.
*Most space cover collectors collect the Space Craft Cover
series because of their outstanding beauty, accuracy of the event being commemorated
in both text and in the detailed drawing of the satellite or spacecraft.
*Some of the postmarked covers were produced in very limited
quantities and are quite scarce. This is reflected in the prices.
*Why are the majority the early Space Craft Covers cancelled
with the Patrick Air Force Base Florida cancel? In the early days of the space
program there were only two postmarks available for space covers, the first
being Patrick Air Force Base Florida and the second being Port Canaveral. Joe
Fitzpatrick, the operator of SCC believed that the Patrick Air Force Base cancel
was the most appropriate as it is the official military post office for Cape
Canaveral, where the launches took place. Port Canaveral had no connection with
the launch area, it was just a small village and the "port" was a
fueling station for east coast shipping. However the servicer who obtained the
postmarks for SCC also had a limited amount of covers cancelled at the Port
Canaveral post office, and so some SCC covers do exist cancelled with both the
Patrick AFB and the Port Canaveral postmarks. Space Craft Covers began offering
their covers with the new Cape Canaveral Postmark when it became available in
1963.
Mercury - The main scientific objective of project Mercury was to determine man's capabilities in a space environment and in those environments to which he will be subject upon going into and returning from space. A few of the basic flight problems included: The development of an automatic escape system, vehicle control during insertion, behavior of space systems, evaluation of pilots capabilities in space, in flight monitoring, retrofire and reentry maneuvers and landing and recovery.
Mercury Test Launch - HAM.....Prelude to Man!
Cachet with red imprint "HAM" - PRELUDE
TO MAN...... canceled Jan. 31, 1961 PAFB -
machine cancel on SC#1173, 4 cent Echo 1 - On January 31, 1961, Ham, whose name
was an acronym for Holloman Aero Med,
became the first chimpanzee in space, aboard the Mercury Redstone
rocket on a sub-orbital flight very similar to Alan Shepard's. Ham was brought
from the French Camaroons, West Africa, where he was born July 1957, to Holloman
Air Force Base in New Mexico in 1959. The original flight plan called for an
altitude of 115 miles and speeds ranging up to 4400 mph. However, due to technical
problems, the spacecraft carrying Ham reached an altitude of 157 miles and a
speed of 5857 mph and landed 422 miles downrange rather than the anticipated
290 miles. Ham performed well during his flight and splashed down in the Atlantic
Ocean 60 miles from the recovery ship. He experienced a total of 6.6 minutes
of weightlessness during a 16.5-minute flight. A post-flight medical examination
found Ham to be slightly fatigued and dehydrated, but in good shape otherwise.
Ham's mission paved the way for the successful launch of America's first human
astronaut, Alan B. Shepard, Jr., on May 5, 1961.- unaddressed - $225.00

Mercury Suborbital Launch - Capt.
Virgil I. Grissom - canceled July 21, 1961 PAFB - machine cancel on
SC#1173, 4 cent Echo 1 - Mercury-Redstone 4 was the fourth mission in the Mercury-Redstone
series of flight tests and the second U.S. manned suborbital spaceflight. It
was the next step in the progressive research, development and training program
leading to the study of man's capabilities in a space environment during manned
orbital flight. The main objective was to corroborate the man-in-space concept.
The main configuration differences between the MR-3 spacecraft was the addition
of a large viewing window and an explosively actuated side hatch. Flight successful
but the spacecraft was lost during the post landing recovery period as a result
of premature actuation of the explosively actuated side egress hatch. The capsule
sank in 15,000 feet of water shortly after splashdown. The astronaut egressed
from the spacecraft immediately after hatch actuation and was retrieved after
being in the water for about 3 to 4 minutes. - Cover has two color printed cachet

colour SpaceCraft cachet - canceled Nov. 29, 1961 PAFB - machine cancel on SC#1173,
4 cent Echo 1 - This would be the final primate mission of Project Mercury.
Enos, a five year old chimpanzee, was selected. He was considered very intelligent
and for this reason he was selected to make an orbital flight aboard a Mercury-Atlas
rocket. Enos was successfully launched after a number of delays due to inclement
weather. He was scheduled to make three orbits of the Earth, but had to be brought
back after two. His Mercury capsule malfunctioned and for every correct move
he made he was given a shock instead of a banana pellet. Despite the discomfort
he experienced, Enos continued to make the correct moves. He splashed down in
the Atlantic after more than three hours of flight, 181 minutes of which were
in weightless conditions. unaddressed - $125.00
