STS-127 Patch.svg
Space Shuttle mission STS-127 is the 32nd construction flight of the International Space Station (ISS) and the final of a series of three flights dedicated to the assembly of the Japanese "Kibo" laboratory complex. In addition to delivering, installing, and servicing an external scientific platform that will be attached to the end of the Japanese module, STS-127 will bring up a new ISS crew member and return another one to Earth, replace vital components of the ISS electrical production system, and transfer various pieces of hardware to ISS. Five spacewalks and the operation of four different robotic arms will be required to accomplish these tasks over 10 days. A crew spokesperson had the following words for the patch. "Bathed in sunlight, the blue Earth is represented without boundaries to remind us that we all share this world. In the center, the golden flight path of the space shuttle turns into the three distinctive rays of the astronaut symbol culminating in the star-like emblem characteristic of the Japanese Space Agency, yet soaring further into space as it paves the way for future voyages and discoveries for all humankind."

STS-135 patch.png
The STS-135 patch represents the space shuttle Atlantis embarking on its mission to resupply the International Space Station. Atlantis is centered over elements of the NASA emblem depicting how the space shuttle has been at the heart of NASA for the last 30 years. It also pays tribute to the entire NASA and contractor team that made possible all the incredible accomplishments of the space shuttle. Omega, the last letter in the Greek alphabet, recognizes this mission as the last flight of the Space Shuttle Program.

  • The Expedition 63 patch represents an intersection of the past and the beginning of a new dawn in human spaceflight as we continue to inhabit the International Space Station (ISS), aim towards returning to the moon and plan for the journey to Mars.
  • Thirteen illuminated stars along the top of the patch commemorate the Apollo 13 celebrating its 50th anniversary during Expedition 63. The swoosh in the shape of the number "63" orbiting around the earth and moon honors the Apollo program and the future missions to go beyond low earth orbit.
  • The atom, shown overlaid on a vibrant sunrise, is the Expedition 63 crew's call sign symbolizing the energy to revolve, or orbit around a nucleus or in their case, the Earth. The international crew depicts the importance of the collaboration in preserving the ISS as a microgravity and space environment research laboratory.
