If you're interested in purchasing this patch, please send me an email at Please place STS-62A “Revisited” in the subject line.Įric would like to personally acknowledge and thank Tim Gagnon and Jorge Cartes for their diligent assistance in making "STS-62A Revisited" design a reality. These prices includes packaging and handling. The patch is a first come basis once they are gone, they are gone.Įric Bangloy is selling the remaining patches for $6.50 each two patches for $10.00. I have personally numbered and signed each patch. Availability is limited to 86 patches (referencing the year of launch) for sale. "STS-62A Revisited" is 4 inch (10.16 cm) in diameter and is a fully embroidered patch. Halley's Comet was added to give an "artistic dating" to the patch. Discovery's silhouette orbiter over the "North Pole" expresses some ambiguity of its orientation in space, and is accompanied with the red flight path to signify the polar orbit launch. (Note - remember that the role of Enterprise was important for the preparation and mock staging for a west coast launch). The four stars in space represent the space shuttle fleet at the time the STS-62A mission was approved - Enterprise, Columbia, Challenger, and Atlantis. The white stars within the outer circle represented of each of the astronauts assigned to the mission. The colors were loosely based upon the colors of the Air Force Achievement Medal and the NASA "meatball" emblem. The design for "STS-62A Revisited" is simple due to the classified nature of the mission. Many years later, I entertained the idea of creating my own design for STS-62A. Kennedy Space Center, Florida, and Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. The launch of STS-62A would have afforded me the best opportunity to see a space shuttle launch. The space shuttle Enterprise, atop a barge, passes the Statue of Liberty in. Financial burdens and military obligations (as an adult), however, prevented me from viewing an actual space shuttle launch. Growing up in Bakersfield, California presented many opportunities to view a space shuttle landing at Edwards Air Force Base. MODIS has 36 spectral bands and a 2330 km swath width. In Local Mode the spatial resolution is 275 m, and in Global Mode these pixels are averaged either 4 x 4, 1 x 4, or 2 x 2. MISR has two spatial modes: Local and Global. The angled scanners are at 26.1, 45.6, 60.0, and 70.5 degrees. Spaceflight Now posted some neat photos in seven galleries, of the prototype Space Shuttle Enterprise (OV-101) in Vandenber's Orbiter Maintenance and Checkout Facility hangar, and standing assembled with external fuel tank and solid rocket boosters atop Space Launch Complex 6 for testing. MISR has a swath width of 360 km and consists of nine scanners at fixed angles: one nadir, four pointed fore, and four aft. Channel 3 can also be pointed backward looking as well as nadir looking. The ASTER instrument has channels in the VNIR, SWIR and TIR, with a swath width of 60 km. The satellites have a polar, circular, sun-synchronous 705-km orbit with a 16-day repeat cycle.

The imaging sensors are the Advanced Spacebourne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER), Multi-angle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR), and Moderate Resolution Spectroradiometer (MODIS). The Terra/EOS AM-1 satellite crosses the equator at 10:30, while the Aqua (PM-1) satellite crosses at 13:30, local time. The difficulty of moving the Orbiter through the existing roads is discernible. This satellite was launched in December 1999 and AM-2 is planned to be launched in 2004. Space Shuttle Enterprise transported to the South VAFB site. See the DoD copyright policy.The Terra satellite was initially called EOS AM-1. The nominal power consumption of the Space Shuttle was 7000 W (plus additional power required for payloads it was carrying) and that of the Apollo was 16904260 W. federal government, the image is in the public domain. 4.02.2.3 Space Shuttle The Space Shuttle was a substantially larger, more versatile, and more complex spacecraft than the Apollo. Shuttle Enterprise mated to 747 SCA on ramp. STS Challenger mated to 747 SCA for initial delivery to Florida. military or Department of Defense employee, taken or made as part of that person's official duties.
