Space Shuttle Commemorative Patch Entry
Artist-supplied caption:

The patch features two astronauts donning EVA suits facing each other as the Earth rotates by beneath them. In the background, a patriotic themed Astronaut symbol lies against a black background with fourteen (14) stars in remembrance of the astronauts who lost their lives during the program. The astronauts EVA suits feature patches with the first and last STS missions, illustrating a "full circle" look at the program and all that has been accomplished by it.
