The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum on Tuesday (Oct. 6) is celebrating its acquisition of Sally Ride’s personal items and papers, which will serve to represent her life and legacy as the first American woman in space. The collection covers the full trajectory of the late astronaut’s career, from the tennis racket she used as she became a nationally-ranked player to the checklists she used to train to the helmet she wore on NASA’s jets to the many awards she was bestowed.
