Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by KSCartist on 04-24-2015 08:00 AM <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="+0">[b]Hubble Space Telescope 25th Anniversary Commemorative Patch[/b]</font> <div align="justify">Launched aboard the orbiter Discovery on mission STS-31 April 24, 1990, initial tests indicated a spherical aberration in the primary mirror. Hubble was thought by many to be a colossal failure. In 1993 and during four subsequent servicing missions shuttle astronauts upgraded the HST and in fact improved it's hardware significantly. These upgrades allowed Hubble to rewrite astronomy textbooks for generations to come. <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/kscartist/hubble25patch02-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/kscartist/hubble25patch02.jpg" width="400" height="432" border="0"></a></center> This patch design showcases Hubble orbiting the Earth peering into deep space. The inner border is reminiscent of the primary mirror and is bordered by the six Hubble Space Telescope mission numbers. The gold astronaut pin pays tribute to those "Hubble Huggers" who performed the EVAs. This design was created by Tim Gagnon of Titusville, FL and Jorge Cartes of Madrid, Spain. This patch is in stock and can be shipped immediately.
