I saw this Terra Scout patch on eBay and did a quick search on Google. The patch looks like is was created in September 1988.

There are three Army Intelligence Specialists associated with the patch, but I would like to find out more on them as well as the patch. I would also be interested in the Terra Scout US Army Project if anyone has any information.

There's a JSC portrait of Tom Hennan wearing this patch on his jumpsuit with an STS-44 patch.

WhoooHooo... I was able to pick this patch up for my collection the other day. And the best thing was where it came from!

It was from a gentleman who worked the other end of the experiment, ground pounder who helped to setup the targets to look for on the ground and in this case Australia, Learmonth Airport. So very cool!

Just thought I would share that part of the Terra Scout experiment.

For reference, the recent listing from eBay was item 202839788283.
NASA TS-44 Terra Scout Patch. Condition is New. I worked on the ground as active duty US Navy in Exmouth Australia in support of the Terra Scout mission. I received this patch as a result. Been in storage ever since.
