I enjoyed seeing the entrants for NASA's employee commemorative patch contest and decided to make one of my own. Tim Gagnon encouraged me through the process and I'm grateful for his help. This is a four inch completely embroidered patch. There is no iron on adhesive. I have about 25 of these that I can let go of if any of you are interested. I'm asking $9 per patch to cover expenses, including first class postage. If there is enough interest to place an additional order we can explore that option. For now, until the 25 are gone, I'll offer just one per person. If you'd like numerous for a future order let me know how many. I'm not a patch seller. I just did this for fun. Contact me by email and I'll contact you to make arrangements. Space Shuttle Commemorative Patch - Honors the space shuttle program and it's years of service; 1981-2010. Names of the five shuttle orbiters that flew in space are in the border. Gold color of border signifies the golden era of space exploration achieved by the space shuttle. The American flag represents the contributions and accomplishments of the American people, containing 14 stars memorializing the astronauts lost in the Challenger and Columbia accidents. The shuttle is shown in orbit above the earth; it's mission environment. Five stars in the blackness of space indicate the five orbiters, three to the right signifying the orbiters Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour and two at the top signifying Columbia and Challenger. The Astronaut symbol is shown streaking across the sky denoting the astronauts who flew aboard space shuttles and the advancement of human space exploration. Patch design by Robert Sorenson. |

I had this revision made to update the year ending the shuttle program and changing the border thread to metallic gold. The scan does not do justice to the bright, shiny surface of the gold thread. I have a limited number of these patches to share/sell. If you would like one of these patches I ask that you contact me. I will ask that you send me $10 via Paypal. One collectSPACE member buying a patch said, "I'll give one to the International Women's Air & Space Museum here in Cleveland, OH (www.IWASM.org)." Thank you for your interest.  |
