English: This is an imitation of the mission patch of space shuttle mission STS-115 (ISS assembly mission 12A). It was designed by Graham Huber, Peter Hui and Gigi Lui at York University in Toronto, Canada. The patch depicts
Space Shuttle ''Atlantis'' approaching the
International Space Station. As it heads for the space station, (which is actually depicted in the center right of the patch, in its configuration after STS-115) it leaves the Astronaut Symbol. Behind the shuttle are solar arrays, hence it is the first shuttle mission to deliver solar arrays since the Columbia disaster. It is also the first truss assembly mission since
STS-113. The names of the crew are depicted along the border. When there is any change in this policy, please let
Wikipedia or
NASA know. The patch is visible in the background of a scene in the movie Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon at around the time of 1 hour, 25 minutes.
BEWARE: This drawing is similar to the original patch (
File:STS-115 patch.png), but not identical.
