| STS-100 INSIGNIA --- The STS-100/6A emblem reflects the complex
interaction of robotics and extravehicular activity (EVA) on this mission.
During the mission spacewalks will be conducted to deploy the International
Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS). The EVA helmet frames the
patch, with the Canadian-built SSRMS shown below the visor. Reflected in
the visor is the Space Shuttle Endeavour, with the International Space Station
rising above the horizon at orbital sunrise. Endeavour's payload bay houses
a Spacelab pallet, itself holding the SSRMS and the Space Station Ultra
High Frequency Antenna, and the Italian-built Multi-Purpose Logistics Module
"Raffaello." American, Russian, Canadian, and Italian astronauts compose
the crew, and their flags are stylized in the lower portion of the emblem.
Ten stars adorn the sky, representing the children of the STS-100 crew and
the future of space exploration. The NASA insignia design for Shuttle flights
is reserved for use by the astronauts and for other official use as the
NASA Administrator may authorize. Public availability has been approved
only in the form of illustrations by the various news media. When and if
there is any change in this policy, which is not anticipated, it will be
publicly announced. |
