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.

> America wasn't hurt this morning. Humanity was.

While Brazil does not (yet) had an astronaut aboard the ISS, a Shuttle or a Soyuz vehicle, Brazilian C&T resources to the space program have been ever-growing. We have micro-gravity labs in the university, and we all find being part ( albeit a small one ) in the ISS program a great thing.

It is definetively a mankind thing - aboard an american vehicle. We deeply mourn the loss of the Columbia crew as it affects space exploration as a whole.

( And EIRobotics86, your tribute image above reads "Chalenger" instead of Columbia - now that was some 17 years ago... )

Ummm... I think we should be a bit more careful and respectful with the STS-107 mission patch. I think it would be awesome to have that patch on all FIRST robots this year, with NASA's permission. I don't think we should be too hasty in contacting NASA about this so early in this difficult time for them, but in a few weeks, I'll also help look into it.

I do not think it will be a problem putting the logo on the robot.

I would reword it from "Rest in Peace" to "In remembrance of..." it sounds more appropriate.

I agree that "In remebrance of..." looks better, but I think the font in the first one was better, as the intricate one looks like something that would be used in a cheesy horror movie. If you want any more advice from someone who doesn"t have enough initiative to go edit the image themselves, I would suggest changing the font colot to something darker. Red contrasts nicely for most of it, but a darker color that still contrasted (like navy blue would be good) and having the mission logo less faded would be cool too.

My team is NASA sponsored team and we would like to contribute to the remberance of Columbia. We would love to be able to put the STS-107 mission patch on our shirts and robot. We do however need NASA's permission. How do we go about doing this? I would be willing to call NASA or email them to see if they can give us approval. If anyone has any way of doing this please state it in this thread and I'll be happy to do it. God bless the crew of Columbia.

A Proposal

IN the wake of the international tragedy that was the explosion of Space Shuttle Columbia, I and Team 1135 propose that we further commemorate the brave astronauts who died upon the shuttle, by letting there be a competition in the Spirit of FIRST, of excellence, for a written tribute to be read at each competiton, regional and national, so that their deaths may not have been in vain, but would inspire greater excellence in the world. Perhaps poetry or an inspirational speech...i've enclosed a copy of poem I wrote in rememberance of this....


Hope in a Shattered World

Dedicated to the family, friends, and crew of those who died on the Space Shuttle Columbia....

A ruined town, a shattered nation,
the death of seven, a blow to all.
Walking in rubble of demolished dreams,
I gaze at the weeping, struck by the fall

Burning wings of fiery light,
On which a corpse is a dreadful sight,
Life once so vibrant, gone in a flash,
Only ashes remain from tragedy's blast.

Disordered destruction and fire within,
In a vessel of night, of yang and of yin.
Massive eruptions at shattered flesh burn,
So that one crosses over, not to return.

Shards of debris are all that remain,
But let no one say that they challenged in vain,
Though burned to a remnant of shattered, singed bone,
Their souls are foredoomed to be never alone

Proud and defiant, we will always stand tall,
And to the troops of despair shall we never fall,
And hoping 'gainst hope, against evils that be,
We challenge the earth, the sky, and the sea.

Matthew David Lee

I will place it, the mission patch, on the robot in their honor. If we all do it, what are they going to do, jail/fine all of us. Besides someone approach them. S.P.A.M. isn't sponsored by them this year (last year) so I really cannot go up through the channels. Also whoever contacts NASA tell them we're trying to make this FIRST wide so therefore maybe they'll supply us with a good image to print in a decal, sticker, or whatever you plan on usig for a mount. Its such a sad thing to happen and yet we have all this red tape to cut through. But the patches are for official use only.
