Summary

STS-41 G CREW INSIGNIA --- The 41-G mission insignia focuses on its seven crew members (first to exceed six), the U.S. Flag and the Unity symbol known as the astronaut pin. The pin design in center shows a trio of trajectories merging in infinite space, capped by a bright shining star and encircled by an elliptical wreath denoting orbital flight. Crewmembers for the (originally-scheduled 17th STS) mission include Astronauts Robert L. Crippen and Jon A. McBride , commander and pilot, respectively, whose surnames flank those of the NASA mission specialists -- Astronauts Kathryn D. Sullivan , David C. Leestma and Sally K. Ride , Paul Scully-Power , a U.S. Navy oceanographer , and Marc Garneau , a Canadian , join the crew as payload specialists. The artwork was done by Patrick Rawlings .

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.
