The orbital path illustrated by the red, white and blue of the stylized American flag represents the American contribution and strength derived from this mission. The black background of space, indicative of the mysteries of the universe, is illuminated by six large stars, which depict the American crew of six and the hopes that travel with them. The smaller stars represent the myriad of unheralded Americans who work in support of this mission. Within the shuttle's payload bay is a Defense Support Program (DSP) Satellite which will help insure peace. The stars of the flag symbolize our leadership in an exciting quest of space and the boundless dreams for mankind's future.  In the words of a crew spokesman, \"the stars of the flag symbolize our leadership in an exciting quest of space and the boundless dreams for humanity's future.\" The NASA insignia design for space shuttle flights is reserved for use by the astronauts and for other official use as the NASA Administrator may authorize.
