The crew of STS-114 will carry the memory of their friends on Columbia and the legacy of their mission back into Earth orbit. The dominant design element of the STS-114 patch is the planet Earth, which represents the unity and dedication of the many people whose efforts allow the Shuttle to safely return to flight. Against the background of the Earth at night, the blue orbit represents the International Space Station (ISS), with the EVA crewmembers named on the orbit. The red sun on the orbit signifies the contributions of the Japanese Space Agency to the mission and to the ISS program. The multi-colored Shuttle plume represents the broad spectrum of challenges for this mission, including Shuttle inspection and repair experiments, and International Space Station re-supply and repair. 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 forms of illustrations by the various news media.

Description
STS96-S-001 (February 1999) --- Designed by the crew members, this is the mission insignia for the STS-96 space flight, the second Space Shuttle mission dedicated to the assembly of the International Space Station (ISS). The crew patch highlights the major themes of the Station Program: Earth-directed research, the advancement of human space exploration, and international cooperation. The Space Shuttle Discovery is depicted shortly after reaching orbit as the crew prepares to carry out the first docking with the new Station. At this early stage in its construction, ISS consists of two modules: Zarya and Unity, shown orbiting Earth. The triangular shape of the patch represents building on the knowledge and experience of earlier missions, while the three vertical bars of the astronaut emblem point toward future human endeavors in space. The five-pointed star that tops the astronaut emblem in this depiction is symbolic of the five space agencies participating in the development of ISS: NASA, the Russian Space Agency, the European Space Agency, the National Space Development Agency of Japan, and the Canadian Space Agency. The blend of red, white, and blue is a tribute to the nationalities of the crew members who are from the United States, Canada, and Russia. NOTE: 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 availablity has been approved only in the form of illustrations by the various news media.

Description
STS096-333-021 (3 June 1999) --- Backdropped against white clouds and blue ocean waters, the International Space Station (ISS) moves away from the Space Shuttle Discovery. The U.S.-built Unity node (left) and the Russian-built Zarya or FGB module (with the solar array panels deployed) were joined during a December 1998 mission. A portion of the work performed on the May 30 space walk by astronauts Tamara E. Jernigan and Daniel T. Barry is evident at various points on the ISS, including the installation of the Russian-built crane (called Strela). A STS-96 crew member aboard Discovery recorded this image with a 35mm camera on June 3, 1999.
Description
STS092-S-001 (November 1999) --- Designed by the crew members, the STS-92 patch symbolizes the second mission to carry U.S.-built elements to the International Space Station (ISS) for assembly. The black silhouette of the Space Shuttle Discovery stands out against the deep blue background of space in low Earth orbit. In the foreground in gray is a profile view of the ISS as it appears when the shuttle and crew arrive, with the station consisting of the Unity node, its two pressurized mating adapters (PMA), the Zarya functional cargo block, the Zvezda service module, and the Progress cargo vehicle. Following the shuttle's rendezvous and docking, the ISS configuration will be augmented by the two elements delivered by Discovery--the Z1 truss and PMA-3. These two elements, depicted in red, will be installed using the shuttle's robot arm and be connected to ISS during four spacewalks. The multi-national nature of both the STS-92 crew and the ISS are reflected in the multi-colored Astronaut Office symbol. 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.

STS092-706-005 (11-26 October 2000) --- Silhouetted over Earth, the International Space Station (ISS) is seen in a configuration soon to be changed, once the approaching STS-92 crew adds its important new changes. If oriented with Earth's horizon on the left, the ISS elements, from the left, are Node 1 or Unity, the functional cargo block or Zarya, the service module or Zvezda and the Progress supply ship. In a matter of days, the crew went on to add the Z1 Truss structure and a third pressurized mating adapter (PMA-3).
Description
STS092-405-025 (11-26 October 2000) --- Not long before the link-up of the Space Shuttle Discovery and the International Space Station (ISS), a crew member onboard the shuttle used a 35mm camera to grab this oblique image of the station. This was one of the last looks at the complex in the represented configuration, as the seven-member team went about changing its appearance with the addition of important new pieces. Backdropped against the blackness of space, all the current elements are visible. Nearest the camera is the Progress supply ship, attached to the service module or Zvezda, which connects to the functional cargo block (FGB) or Zarya. At the top or far end in this view is the U.S.-built Unity Node 1. The nearest set of solar arrays belongs to Zvezda, with the further array serving the Zarya. Once the STS-92 crew completed its work, the addition of the Z1 Truss and a third pressurized mating adapter (PMA-3) changed the appearance considerably.
Description
STS092-702-059 (11-26 October 2000) --- Not long before the link-up of the Space Shuttle Discovery and the International Space Station (ISS), a crew member onboard the shuttle used a handheld 70mm camera to grab this image of the station. This was one of the last looks at the complex in the represented configuration, as the seven-member team went about changing its appearance with the addition of important new pieces. Backdropped against the blackness of space, all the current elements are visible, though this particular angle makes them difficult to delineate. Nearest the camera is the Progress supply ship, attached to the service module or Zvezda, which connects to the functional cargo block (FGB) or Zarya. At the top or far end in this vew is the U.S.-built Unity Node 1. Once the STS-92 crew completed its work, the addition of the Z1 Truss and a third pressurized mating adapter (PMA-3) changed the appearance considerably.
Description
STS092-368-003 (16 October 2000) --- Tethered to Unity on the International Space Station (ISS), astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria prepares to snap a picture with a 35mm camera.
