STS-41C - Swissartex

Submitted by liem on Thu, 04/11/2013 - 19:47

STS-41-C was NASA's 11th Space Shuttle mission, and the fifth mission of Space Shuttle Challenger. The launch, which took place on 6 April 1984, was the first direct ascent trajectory for a shuttle mission. STS-41-C was extended one day due to problems capturing the Solar Maximum Mission ("Solar Max") satellite, and the landing on 13 April took place at Edwards Air Force Base instead of at Kennedy Space Center as had been planned. The flight was originally numbered STS-13.

This Swissartex STS-41C patch can be found in two versions. A waxy matt plastic coated backing, & a shiny vacuum sealed backed patch. Later modern shiny plastic coated backed versions were manufactured by Eagle Crest Emblem Inc. in Taiwan.
