STS-110 / Atlantis Patch

Item MP110 Price $4.95

Space Shuttle Atlantis lifted off at 3:44 p.m. CDT (2044 GMT) April 8, 2002 on a mission to install the 43-foot-long S0 (S-Zero) Truss -- the backbone for future station expansion -- to the International Space Station. While in orbit, the STS-110 crewmembers -- Bloomfield, Frick and Mission Specialists Ellen Ochoa, Jerry Ross, Rex Walheim, Steve Smith and Lee Morin -- performed four spacewalks and used the shuttle and station robotic arms to install and outfit the S0. They prepared the station for future spacewalks and spent a week in joint operations with the station's Expedition Four crew. They also prepared the first railroad in space, the Mobile Transporter, for use. The crew returned to Earth at 11:27 a.m. CDT (1627 GMT) April 19, 2002.

Patch description: The STS-110 crew patch is patterned after the cross section of the SO truss, and encases the launch of the Shuttle Atlantis and a silhouette of the ISS as it will look following mission completion. The successfully installed SO segment is highlighted in gold. The SO truss will serve as the cornerstone for the remaining ISS truss segments which together will span a distance greater than the length of a football field. This truss holds the Station's massive solar arrays, providing electrical power for the modules of all the International Partners, and enables ISS to reach its full potential as a world-class research facility. The 110 patch was designed by Rex Walheim's wife, Margie Walheim.

4" diameter embroidered patch.
