Space Shuttle Commemorative Patch Entry
Artist-supplied caption

:

The design concept is based on a subject of space shuttle, her organizer, and her birth & retire year of the program/missions. Those indications are symbolic condensed on a shuttle perimeter:

  1. Her parents, NASA and NASA people, provide the wings of the program/missions,

  2. Her head/cockpit is just a suitable area for the birth year "1981"- the journey's beginning,

  3. Certainly, her tail portion/propulsion system is the right place for the historical legacy - year "2010"...

  4. The Red-Blue-White, the nation's color, is thematic inked on the entire patch.
