| STS-115 Patch History |
(STS115-S-002 - 11 November 2002) --- This is the crew patch for the STS-115 mission, which will be the twelfth American (12A) assembly flight to the International Space Station (ISS), during which two solar panels will be installed. To reflect the nature of this mission, the patch depicts the two solar panels as a primary element, dramatically zooming out in perspective from a brilliant starburst of light over the horizon of the planet Earth and the ISS. The six bursting rays of light represent the crew bringing the essential power of the sun to the station through the installation of the panels. The mission number 115 and the crew names are proudly stated in a highly legible, bold typeface.
This patch was designed jointly by Graham Huber, Peter Hui, and Gigi Lui, of the York University / Sheridan College Joint Design program in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, under the guidance of Steven MacLean (CSA) and Don Newgren.
