STS-75 var en flygning i det amerikanska rymdfärjeprogrammet med rymdfärjan Columbia. Den sköts upp från Pad 39B vid Kennedy Space Center i Florida den 22 februari 1996. Efter drygt femton dagar i omloppsbana runt jorden återinträdde rymdfärjan i jordens atmosfär och landade vid Kennedy Space Center.

STS-75 crew.jpg
The crew assigned to the STS-75 mission included (seated left to right) Scott J. Horowiz, pilot; Andrew M. Allen, commander; and Franklin R. Chang-Diaz, mission specialist. Standing, left to right, are Maurizio Cheli, mission specialist of the European Space Agency (ESA); Umberto Guidoni, payload specialist (Italy); Jeffrey A. Hoffman, mission specialist; and Claude Nicollier, mission specialist (ESA). Launched aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia on February 22, 1996 at 3:18:00 pm (EST), the STS-75 mission carried two primary payloads; the reflight of the U.S./Italian Tethered Satellite System (TSS-1R), and the U.S. Microgravity Payload-3 (USMP-3).

STS-76 Mission Insignia

The STS-76 crew patch depicts the Space Shuttle Atlantis and Russia's Mir Space Station as the space ships prepare for a rendezvous and docking. The Spirit of 76, an era of new beginnings, is represented by the Space Shuttle rising through the circle of 13 stars in the Betsy Ross flag. STS-76 begins a new period of international cooperation in space exploration with the first Shuttle transport of a United States astronaut, Shannon W. Lucid, to the Mir Space Station for extended joint space research. Frontiers for future exploration are represented by stars and the planets. The three gold trails and the ring of stars in union form the astronaut logo. Two suited extravehicular activity (EVA) crew members in the outer ring represent the first EVA during Shuttle-Mir docked operations. The EVA objectives were to install science experiments on the Mir exterior and to develop procedures for future EVA's on the International Space Station. The surnames of the crew members encircle the patch: Kevin P. Chilton, mission commander; Richard A. Searfoss, pilot; Ronald M. Sega, Michael R. ( Rich) Clifford, Linda M. Godwin and Lucid, all mission specialists. This patch was designed by Brandon Clifford, age 12, and the crew members of STS-76.

STS-72 Mission Insignia

The crew patch of STS-72 depicts the Space Shuttle Endeavour and some of the payloads on the flight. The Japanese satellite, Space Flyer Unit (SFU) is shown in a free-flying configuration with the solar array panels deployed. The inner gold border of the patch represents the SFU's distinct octagonal shape. Endeavour's rendezvous with and retrieval of SFU at an altitude of approximately 250 nautical miles. The Office of Aeronautics and Space Technology's (OAST) flyer satellite is shown just after release from the Remote Manipulator System (RMS). The OAST satellite was deployed at an altitude of 165 nautical miles. The payload bay contains equipment for the secondary payloads - the Shuttle Laser Altimeter (SLA) and the Shuttle Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet Instrument (SSBUV). There were two space walks planned to test hardware for assembly of the International Space Station. The stars represent the hometowns of the crew members in the United States and Japan.

STS-75 Mission Insignia

The STS-75 crew patch depicts the Space Shuttle Columbia and the Tethered Satellite connected by a 21 km electrically conduction tether. The Orbiter/satellite system is passing through the Earth's magnetic field which, like an electric generator, will produce thousands of volts of electricity. Columbia is carrying the United States Microgravity Pallet to conduct microgravity research in material science and thermodynamics. The tether is crossing the Earth's terminator signifying the dawn of a new era for space tether applications and in mankind's knowledge of the Earth's ionosphere, material science, and thermodynamics. The patch was designed for the STS-75 crew by Space Artist Mike Sanni.
