A rare and seldom seen cover issued at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Commemorating the Space Shuttle Flight Readiness Firing of OV-102 Columbia when all the Shuttle main engines were fired in a simulated launch test.

A rare and seldom seen cover issued at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama.

In 1977 the Shuttle Enterprise successfully completed a nine-month long series of Approach and Landing Tests at NASA's Drydon Flight Research Center (DFRC). Following these test flights Enterprise was flown piggyback atop the NASA 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) to undergo extensive vertical ground vibration tests as a complete system mounted to an External Tank and Solid Rocket Boosters as part of the Shuttle Test Project.
This rare and seldom seen commemorative cover is an official issue from Rockwell International; the prime contractor for the design, development and test of the Space Shuttle Orbiter. It commemorates the transport of the Enterprise atop NASA's 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft from the Dryden Flight Research Center after the Approach and Landing Tests, to the Marshall Space Flight Center (via the Johnson Space Center) for vibration tests. The cover is cancelled in Huntsville, Alabama on the 13th March 1978. Wonderful.
