John Grunsfeld and Dora Spargo with NRAO Banner from Space Shuttle Columbia Flight
Description
Shuttle Astronaut John Grunsfeld and Dora Spargo holding the NRAO Banner that flew on the March 2002 Space Shuttle Columbia mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope. Spargo had appliqued the NRAO logo onto a white background and the flag/banner was sent to all of the NRAO sites for all employees to autograph. Grunsfeld took it with him on the Space Shuttle mission, and returned it to NRAO in April 2002, where it hung in the Domenici Array Operations Center .
