  1. 9/10/12 Goals At the beginning of the school year, it is always a good idea to set goals. Take a few minutes to write in your Science Journal some general goals you have for the school year as well as some specific goals you have for science. Then, write some concrete actions you can take to achieve these goals.

  2. MISSION PATCH The tradition of creating a patch to represent and commemorate space missions began in 1965 when the crew of Gemini V created the first crew-designed mission patch to be worn in space. The patches are worn on the right chest of the space suit, below the astronaut’s nameplate.

  3. Apollo 11 – First Moon Landing

  4. STS-79 (shuttle –Mir docking)

  5. STS-51L

  6. STS-26 (first shuttle flight after Challenger tragedy)

  7. STS-34

  8. Patches from Unmanned Missions

  9. Your Task: Make a patch for the front cover of your science Journal that represents: Yourself Science Your goals for this school year. (You will have time to work in class, but you must finish it at home as your homework tonight.)

  10. STS-133 – Final Voyage of the Space Shuttle Discovery The Shuttle Discovery is depicted ascending on a plume of flame as if it is just beginning a mission. However it is just the orbiter, without boosters or an external tank, as it would be at mission's end. This is to signify Discovery's completion of its operational life and the beginning of its new role as a symbol of NASA's and the nation's proud legacy in human spaceflight.

  11. STS-134 Final Voyage of Space Shuttle Endeavour On this mission, the crew installed the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) experiment - a cosmic particle detector that is studying sub-atomic particles in the background cosmic radiation, and searching for anti-matter and dark-matter, it will help scientists better understand the evolution and properties of our universe. The shape of the patch is inspired by the international atomic symbol, and represents the atom with orbiting electrons around the nucleus. The burst near the center refers to the big-bang theory and the origin of the universe. The Space Shuttle Endeavour and ISS fly together into the sunrise over the limb of Earth, representing the dawn of a new age, understanding the nature of the universe.

  12. STS-135Final Mission of Space Shuttle Atlantis The shuttle is centered over elements of the NASA emblem depicting how the shuttle has been at the heart of NASA for the last 30 years. It also pays tribute to the entire NASA and contractor team that made possible all the incredible accomplishments of the space shuttle. Omega, the last letter in the Greek alphabet, recognizes this mission as the last flight of the space shuttle program. The Atlantis carried the Raffaello multipurpose logistics module to deliver supplies, logistics and spare parts to the International Space Station.
