Rickie Arnold's First Flight - Display

To celebrate Rickie Arnold's upcoming mission, A collage of items from his first flight on 15 March 2009 is available for viewing on the easel just inside Special Collections (Library 4th Floor).  Included are: a small Maryland flag, the patch worn by the astronauts, and various photos from the Mission (including the astronauts).  In the top left corner is the certificate of authenticity that these items were in space.

At the top of the easel is the Frostburg State University ball cap that Mission Astronaut Richard Arnold II took into space.  We have a signed certificate stating that the cap was worn by Arnold.  There is also a banner reading, "Frostburg State University is proud of Astronaut Richard Arnold, II" and signed by Arnold with his year of graduation.
