Shannon Lucid's flown sterling silver STS-79 Robbins medallion, approximately 1.5˝ in diameter, featuring a raised design of the mission insignia on the face. The reverse is engraved with the launch date, "September 16, 1996," and landing date and location, "September 26, 1996, RW 15, KSC, FL." The medal is serial numbered "40F" and stamped with the Robbins hallmark on the edge. Condition is mint state. Complete with its original small plastic case with stiff blue liner, with matching "40F" label. Accompanied by a letter of provenance signed by Lucid. STS-79 saw the Space Shuttle Atlantis dock with the Russian space station Mir to deliver equipment and exchange personnel; Lucid, who had been delivered to the space station on STS-76, served as Mission Specialist 4 on the return flight of the Atlantis. A scarce example, as one of just 60 flown.
