STS-51 INSIGNIA
STS057-S-001 -- Designed by the crewmembers, the STS-57 insignia depicts the space shuttle Endeavour maneuvering to retrieve the European Space Agency's microgravity experiment satellite EURECA. Spacehab, the first commercial space laboratory, is depicted in the cargo bay, and its characteristic shape is represented by the inner red border of the insignia. The three gold plumes surrounded by the five stars trailing EURECA are suggestive of the U.S. astronaut logo. The five gold stars together with the shape of the orbiter's mechanical arm form the mission's numerical designation. The six stars on the American flag represent the U.S. astronauts who comprise the crew. With detailed input from the crewmembers, the final artwork was accomplished by artist Tim Hall. The NASA insignia design for space 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 we do not anticipate, it will be publicly announced. PHOTO CREDIT: NASA or National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
