STS-86 / Atlantis Patch

Item PASTS086 Price $4.95

This was the twentieth Atlantis flight. The 7th MIR Docking mission carried a Spacelab double module for a docking with MIR, cargo transfer and an astronaut exchange. Highlights include five days of Shuttle/MIR docked operations and exchange of crew members Foale and Wolf. Lawrence was scheduled to replace Foale onboard MIR, however, due to concerns about the minimum size restrictions of the Russian MIR Orlan EVA Spacesuit, Wolf was selected in her place. Wolf was originally scheduled to fly on STS 89 to MIR to join the crew. Landed at Kennedy Space Center, FL. on October 6, 1997. Mission Duration: 10 days 19 hours 22 minutes 12 seconds.

Patch description: This flight was the seventh shuttle-Mir docking mission, symbolized by seven stars. The international crew includes astronauts from the United States, Russia, and France. The flags of these nations are incorporated in the rays of the astronaut logo. The rays of light streaking across the sky depict the orbital tracks of the two spacecraft as they prepare to dock. During the flight, an American astronaut and a Russian cosmonaut will perform an extravehicular activity (EVA). The mercator projection of Earth illustrates the global cooperative nature of the flight.
