In addition to John Glenn's triumphant return to space, the crew of STS-95 (October 29 - November 7 1998) conducted scientific Spacehab experiments, deployed and retrieved the Spartan free-flyer payload, and conducted operations with the HST Orbiting Systems Test (HOST) and International Extreme Ultraviolet Hitchhiker (IEH) payloads.

The attached is a swatch of beta cloth material flown aboard STS-95 as part of the orbiter's payload bay liner. Installed over insulation blankets (in a manner similar to window screening) the liner helped maintain the cleanliness of the payload bay and as such was replaced between missions where configuration needs, damage or discoloration demanded. This liner sample is from a NASA-created and distributed commemorative bookmark.
