Embroidered Crew Patch Mission: STS-74 Atlantis   Crew: Kenneth D. Cameron James D. Halsell Jerry L. Ross William S. McArthur, Jr. Chris A. Hadfield Launch: November 12, 1995   Landing: November 20, 1995   Duration: 8 days, 4 hours   Comment: Second Shuttle-Mir docking This embroidered crew patch was launched on Atlantis to the Mir Space Station, where it was then marked with the outpost's postal cancellation device (verifying its status as having flown in space). The primary focus of this patch is the Russian-built docking module, drawn with shading to accentuate its pivotal importance to both STS-74 and the NASA-Mir Program. The rainbow that appears across the horizon represents the atmosphere; the sun rising over it symbolizing the dawning of a new era in NASA spaceflight, that of the construction of the International Space Station. back to Artifacts © 1999-2008 collectSPACE.com All rights reserved.
