Dr. Jeffrey Hoffman Signed Autograph Card — NASA Astronaut, STS-61 Hubble Repair Veteran
Signed autograph card bearing the bold black-ink signature of Dr. Jeffrey A. Hoffman, the NASA astronaut who in 1993 became part of the STS-61 crew that performed the first servicing mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope. The card carries a printed "Autograph of" line at upper left and a sepia-toned engraving of the U.S. Capitol dome, with "JEFFREY A. HOFFMAN" printed across the lower field. The signature sweeps boldly across the dome image. The verso bears a pencil notation reading "Dr. Jeffrey Hoffman / astronaut."
Hoffman flew five Space Shuttle missions between 1985 and 1996, logging more than 1,200 hours in space and becoming the first astronaut to log 1,000 hours aboard the Shuttle. A Harvard-trained astrophysicist, he is best known for his spacewalks during the landmark Hubble repair — work that restored the telescope's optics and salvaged one of the most important scientific instruments ever launched.
