We’re excited to offer collectors over 50 lots from the estate of astronaut Sally Ride, America's first woman in space who flew aboard Space Shuttle Challenger on STS-7 in 1983. After this historic event, Sally went on to fly a second mission for NASA on STS-41-G and then served on the Rogers Commission, where her quiet competence helped bring to light the root cause of the Challenger disaster. Spanning her NASA career and private life, this auction is the first time any items owned by Sally Ride have been made available for sale, and include her collection of Robbins medals – a flown Apollo 11 medallion among them – her NASA coveralls, an intimate diary from STS-41-G and many other items from her remarkable career and life.

All items are auctioned without reserves.
