"Dick" Scobee asked Kennedy Space Center engineer Ernie Reyes to design the mission patch seen above to represent the mission STS-51-L. In it, Challenger is depicted launching from Florida and soaring into space to carry out a variety of goals. Among the prescribed duties of the five astronauts and two payload specialists (represented by the seven stars of the U.S. Flag) was observation and photography of Halley's Comet, backdropped against the U.S. flag in the insignia. Surnames of the crew members encircle the scene, with the payload specialists being recognized below. The surname of the first teacher in space, S. Christa McAuliffe, is followed by a symbolic apple. THIS PATCH WAS MADE BY THE SAME COMPANY THAT MADE THEM FOR THE SHUTTLE PROGRAM AND IS AN EXACT REPLICA AND IS A BRAND NEW, NEVER DISPLAYED SHUTTLE PROGRAM PATCH. THIS PATCH CAN BE WORN ON A HAT, CHEST AREA OR SHOULDER OF A UNIFORM, SHIRT, OR JACKET. THIS PATCH IS MADE TO THE FINEST SPECIFICATIONS AND RIVALS THE QUALITY OF THE ORIGINAL.
