Notes:

The 2-Player version of this game is Williams' 1976 'Space Odyssey'.
Steve Kordek told us that the backglass art was derived from a picture he obtained from NASA. The picture surely was of the painting made by noted space artist Robert McCall (1919-2010) which can be seen here.
Tom Cahill, former Service Manager for Williams, told us that approximately 200 Space Mission games were made with steel cabinets.
