Every flight that enters
space has a patch designed for it. The patch is usually designed
by a crew member and has some significance for that particular flight.
Learn about an upcoming Shuttle mission, or the International Space Station,
and design a patch that would be appropriate. (Remember, patches
are meant to symbolize something important about the mission.) Most
patches are no bigger than 5 inches in diameter, but they are not necessarily
a circle.
Another possibility for this
assignment is to think about your own class or school. Think about
what your class or school means to you. For example, does your school
reach out to the community in very helpful ways? Does it have a good sports
program? Maybe, your school scores best in the state in math and
science. Think about it, then, design a patch symbolizing what you
are proud of about your class or school.
Check out some of the Apollo
patches that were designed for the Apollo missions for examples.
