STS-33 - Unknown maker

STS-33 was a NASA Space Shuttle mission, during which Space Shuttle Discovery deployed a payload for the United States Department of Defense (DoD). STS-33 was the 32nd shuttle mission overall, the ninth flight of Discovery, and the fifth shuttle mission in support of the DoD. Due to the nature of the mission, specific details remain classified. Discovery lifted off from Pad A, Launch Complex 39 at Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida, on 22 November 1989 at 7:23 pm EST; it landed at Edwards Air Force Base, California, on 28 November.

The blue border area in this patch is linear rather than radiating, and there is green stitching in the Earth.

This example of the STS-33 patch looks to be like a near match to the Swissartex Emblem Inc. manufactured patch with a shiny vacuum sealed backing. The 'star clusters' on the examples of the Swissartex patches I have are more diffined as single separate stars in the 2, 3 & 5 star clusters.
