As the U.S. Space Shuttle program comes to a close in the coming months, a Madigan Library display chronicles the ambitious NASA undertaking. Human space flight, astronaut Extra-Vehicular Activities and the Hubble telescope are but a few of the events marking the program's prestigious history. On exhibit are memorabilia for the upcoming STS-133 flight to the International Space Station, fast facts and an original space-shuttle tile that was acquired through NASA and is one of only 7,000 released to institutions. The display, in the corner case on the library's first floor, will remain through May 16. Photos by Michael S. Fischer, student photographer
