Chris, the first site you link to is an archive for past "images of the day". It's not updated with the revised insignia because it is, by definition, an archive of past features. Nor is it NASA's shuttle site. This is NASA's shuttle site and this is that site's page for the crew, both with the correct version of the patch. IP: Logged |

At the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, they have Anderson-tabbed patches:

Interesting. Any chance you could grab me a couple, Robert, and I'll send you the payment? Or do you think you'll have them at Countdown soon...------------------

During today's coverage of rendezvous and docking, I saw a emblem on the first row of control consoles (closest to the camera). It's a rounded triangle in shape, but I could not make out the rest. Anyone know what it is?IP: Logged |

I realize its not a "rounded triangle" but could it be what you saw was the STS-117 increment/payload emblem?IP: Logged |

That's what I thought at first, but that's not it. IP: Logged |

Hey Robert-It's interesting to note the payload patch you linked has the same artwork of the Earth and Sunrise as STS-100. Same artist? Tim IP: Logged |

It appears they didn't have the time to create revised beta patches for STS-117...  IP: Logged |

I believe the ASP also had the old version of the "117" patch (on top of his cap) on launch day.IP: Logged |

Indeed, which is also a bit odd as the other members of the close-out crew had the revised patch on their suits:  IP: Logged |

At the close of Flight Day 10, the STS-117 crew took part in the tradition of adding their mission insignia to both Unity's wall and inside Quest.Commander Rick "CJ" Sturckow had the honor of applying the decal inside the node:  Mission specialist Jim "JR" Reilly added the emblem inside the airlock, and then the crew took turns signing their names around it:  IP: Logged |
