Stardust Return Capsule

Stardust Return Capsule

After a 3 billion-mile journey to rendezvous with a comet, the Stardust return capsule joins the national collection of flight icons Wednesday, Oct. 1, 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.
