STS-7 Mission Patch
STS-7 Mission Patch
This mission patch was designed for the Space Shuttle mission STS-7 by the crew of Robert Crippen, Frederick Hauck, John Fabian, Sally Ride, and Norman Thagard.The patch design includes the Shuttle Challenger with its Remote Manipulator Arm deployed in such a way as to make the number seven, due to this being the seventh Space Shuttle mission. Similarly, seven stars can be seen in the background. The Sun can also be seen in the background, with a five pointed symbol within it. This symbol consists of four male symbols and one female symbol, referring to fact that this was the spaceflight that put the first American woman in space - Sally Ride.
This particular patch was part of a collection of patches acquired by British-born professor of endocrine and metabolic surgery Anthony Goode, during his years working with NASA’s Life Sciences Division.
