Designed by the crew members, the STS- 61 crew insignia depicts the astronaut symbol superimposed against the sky with the Earth underneath.
Light is focused by reflections from a large primary mirror and a smaller secondary mirror.
The Space Shuttle Endeavour is also represented as the fundamental tool that allows the crew to perform the first servicing of the Hubble Space Telescope so its scientific deep space mission may be extended for several years to come. 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. 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 we do not anticipate, it will be publicly announced.
