The NASA insignia design for Shuttle flights is reserved for use by the astronauts and for other official use as the NASA Administrator may authorize. Public availability has been approved only in the form of illustrations by the various news media. When and if there is any change in this policy, which is not anticipated, it will be publicly announced.


This is from the link that described the symbolism of the patch design. Can one of the NASA teams perhaps look into this? I hope that they will agree to our proposed tribute.
