Mission Patch
This
is the crew patch for the STS-106 mission, which
is the first Shuttle flight to the International
Space Station since the arrival of its newest component,
the Russian-supplied Service Module Zvezda (Russian
for star).
On
Friday, February 18, 2000, managers from NASA's
Space Shuttle and International Space Station (ISS)
programs confirmed plans to fly an additional Space
Shuttle mission to the ISS this year. The plan
distributes the original STS-101 mission objectives
between two flights: STS-101 and STS-106. With
both missions slated for flight aboard Shuttle
Atlantis, mission STS-101 remains targeted for
launch no earlier than April 13 and the STS-106
launch will occur no earlier than Aug. 19. Astronauts
on the new STS-106 mission will complete service
module support tasks on orbit, transfer supplies
and outfit ISS for the first long-duration crew.
