Anyone seen anything on the STS-121 cew patch yet? I hope it will be better than the STS-114 patch. I wish 114 would have done a better job than just a remake of their pre-Columbia patch. At least STS-26 had an all new patch, but they were an all new crew too. Maybe they should have done the same for 114. IP: Logged |

I don't think the 114 looks that bad..with the exception of the small shuttle at the top, it's not shaped like the 107 patch..I think they did a nice job on it..IP: Logged |

That is the STS-107 patch artwork on the top of the STS-114 patch. Other than that it is the same as what the crew had before STS-114 became a return to flight test.IP: Logged |

Though its not the complete patch, here is a first look at the embroidered, simplified version to be worn by the 121 crew on their apparel:  IP: Logged |

 It's the one you've all been waiting for, revealed in a single one of todays CEIT pics from KSC. Looks like they left a place for Reiter at the bottom. The patch looks very much like STS-112, which Sellers was also on. I wonder if he is behind any part of the design. ------------------

Looks like they might add a tab for Reiter like they did for Wolf on STS-86's patch. IP: Logged |

And with that, my anonymous source has informed me that Reiter is no longer a 100% sure-fly. Apparently there is a monetary dispute doing on between NASA and Russia over who should pay for his flight. Caldwell, who had previously been training with the STS-121 crew, may still have a chance of flying. Perhaps this is why we haven't had an official announcement of anything yet, nor patches with the name on it. ------------------

ben, yes that could be the reason ... and i am in doubts whether Reiter ever have been a 100% sure-to-fly desicion before..but anyway...the patch seems to me also beside of this topic a little bit unfinished
..maybe because of the three golden stripes lining to the star at the top....they could substitute the colour with the colour of nation flags if we would get a multinational crew...this would like more usuale considering the patches in the recent past ------------------

Hi all-
A question - if Tracy Caldwell does fly on STS-121 will she stay aboard ISS w/ Expedition 11 crew? She trained with 121 but did she train also as ISS crewmember?Tim IP: Logged |

We now have the official NASA art of the STS-121 patch on our site...The art will probably change and Reiters name will be added....--- Jacques
