STS-29 Mission Insignia
The STS-29 patch was designed to capture and represent the energy and dynamic nature of this nation's space program as America continues to look to the future. The folded ribbon border, the first of its kind in the Shuttle patch series, gives a sense of three dimensional depth to the emblem. The stylistic orbital maneuvering system (ONS) burn symbolizes the powerful forward momentum of the Shuttle and a continuing determination to explore the frontiers of space. The colors of the U.S. flag are represented in the patch's basic red, white, and blue background. In the border, the seven stars between the STS-29 crew names are a tribute to the crew of Challenger.
STS-38 Mission Insignia
Robert C. Springer flew 550 combat missions as a U.S. Marine aviator during the Vietnam War. He went on to join NASA in 1981 and flew two missions (STS-29 & STS-38) with the Space Shuttle program. Springer is seen here delivering the commencement address at a Space Camp graduation in the main hall of the Davidson Center for Space Exploration at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center.
