1984 Weet-Bix : Exploring Our Solar System

Exploring Our Solar System project cards were issued in 1984 by the Sanitarium Health Food Company in Australia and New Zealand. The 20-card collection includes official NASA photographs from Space Shuttle Challenger STS-41-B. One card was included with each specially marked box of Weet-Bix breakfast cereals. A collector project poster was available by mailing a 30-cent stamp to the Sanitarium Health Food Company office. The album is held in the collection of the National Library of New Zealand.

"Space Shuttle Launch" depicts Challenger STS-41-B (STS-11) during liftoff from Kennedy Space Center LC-39A on February 3, 1984.

 Mission Specialists Bruce McCandless II and Robert L. Stewart performed the first untethered EVA during Space Shuttle Challenger mission STS-41-B on February 7, 1984. The astronauts tested the nitrogen propulsion thrusters of the Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU). McCandless is pictured travelling at nearly 18,000 miles per hour, but the relative thrusts of the MMU were roughly two or three miles per hour.
