This is the official insignia for
NASA's STS-6 mission. The tracking and data relay satellite
(TDRS) is depicted during its deployment from the Challenger's
opened cargo bay. The six-sided patch lists the surnames of Chal-
lenger's four members - Astronauts Paul J. Weitz, commander;
Karol J. Bobko, pilot; F. Story Musgrave, mission specialist; and
Donald H. Peterson, mission specialist - along with the mission's
sequence numeral and the name of the spacecraft making its first
space voyage. The six shining stars also represent the mission
sequence number.
