Go to Patch Index, Space Shuttle, "Funny, Rare & Personal." <center><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/kscartist_sts-62a-patches01.jpg" WIDTH="400" HEIGHT="400" BORDER="0"></a></center> <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]A: The Shuttle configuration is shown in profile during the first launch from Vandenberg AFB. in California, (V 1). The Earth is shown with the launch site and orbital path highlighted in gold. As in draft "B", the seven star constellation Ursa Minor represent the orbital path of the mission and the possible seven member crew. The names of the orbiter Discovery and crew surround the patch in a royal blue, white and gold band. B: The orbiter Discovery is shown during its "V 1" launch, (first launch from Vandenberg AFB), as the SRBs separate from the configuration. The payload bay doors are hidden denoting this DOD mission. The "Northern Lights" and constellation Ursa Minor with the north star Polaris combine to illustrate the polar orbital path of this flight. The constellation has seven stars to represent the seven member crew. The names of the orbiter and crew surround the patch in a gold and red band. C: The Shuttle and DOD mission is represented by an American Bald Eagle in its first launch from Vandenberg AFB. The Eagle holds a red, white and blue banner in its talons with the name of the orbiter Discovery and launch designation "V 1". There are seven stars in the sky to represent the possible seven member crew. The crew names surround the patch. D: The Shuttle configuration is shown during its first launch from Vandenberg AFB in California, (V 1), rising over two spheres of the earth. The north pole on the left and the south pole on he right illustrate the orbital path of the mission. The name of the orbiter Discovery separates the Shuttle from the two spheres of the Earth. the names of the crew surround the patch in a blue, white and red band. Note, on every patch I had the vehicle launching in the wrong direction. I had it going north instead of south. I'm sure they got a "chuckle" out of that.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>[/B][/QUOTE]
