Shuttle 30 Years Patch
Product Description
With only four missions left, the retirement of NASA's shuttle fleet is imminent. To commemorate the 30 years of service that the fleet has provided, NASA launched an in-house design competition to design a patch that encapsulated the spirit of the shuttle program.
Now NASA has released the winning design created by Blake Dumesnil, a camera engineer at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. The patch features the shuttle and is flanked by 14 stars in honor of the astronauts that lost their lives on the Columbia and Challenger disasters. The five larger stars to the right of the shuttle represent all the members of the fleet, including Atlantis, Discovery and Endeavour.
Available in 2 styles "30 years" as shown, or "shuttle program"- shuttle program embroidered below the shuttle, with 1981 and 2011 above the solid rocket boosters.
