Item PASTS074 Price $4.95

Fifteenth Atlantis flight. This was the second mission to link up with the MIR space station. The Russian built Docking Module was attached to the Kristall module of the MIR. This Docking module will be used in future docking between the Shuttle and MIR Space Station. The cargo bay also carried the Photogrammetric Appendage Structural Dynamics Experiment (PASDE). Landed November 20, 1995 at Kennedy Space Center, FL. Mission Duration: 196 hours 30 minutes 54 seconds.

Patch description: The STS-74 crew patch depicts the orbiter Atlantis docked to the Russian Space Station Mir. The central focus is on the Russian-built docking module, drawn with shading to accentuate its pivotal importance to both STS-74 and the NASA-Mir Program. The rainbow across the horizon represents the Earth's atmosphere, the thin membrane protecting all nations, while the three flags across the bottom show those nations participating in STS-74: Russia, Canada and the United States. The sunrise is symbolic of the dawn of a new era in NASA space flight -- that of International Space Station construction.

4" diameter embroidered patch.
