STS-115 patch.svg
This is an imitation of the mission patch of space shuttle mission STS-115 (ISS assembly mission 12A). It was designed by Graham Huber, Peter Hui and Gigi Lui at York University in Toronto, Canada. The patch depicts Space Shuttle ''Atlantis'' approaching the International Space Station. As it heads for the space station, (which is actually depicted in the center right of the patch, in its configuration after STS-115) it leaves the Astronaut Symbol. Behind the shuttle are solar arrays, hence it is the first shuttle mission to deliver solar arrays since the Columbia disaster. It is also the first truss assembly mission since STS-113. The names of the crew are depicted along the border. When there is any change in this policy, please let Wikipedia or NASA know. The patch is visible in the background of a scene in the movie Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon at around the time of 1 hour, 25 minutes. BEWARE: This drawing is similar to the original patch (File:STS-115 patch.png), but not identical.

STS-126 patch.png
The STS-126 patch represents Space Shuttle Endeavour on its mission to help complete the assembly of the International Space Station (ISS). The inner patch outline depicts the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM) Leonardo. This reusable logistics module will carry the equipment necessary to sustain a crew of six on board the ISS and will include additional crew quarters, exercise equipment, galley, and life support equipment. In addition, a single expedition crew member will launch on STS-126 to remain on board ISS, replacing an expedition crew member who will return home with the shuttle crew. Near the center of the patch, the constellation Orion reflects the goals of the human spaceflight program, returning us to the Moon and on to Mars, the red planet, which are also shown. At the top of the patch is the gold symbol of the astronaut office. The sunburst, just clearing the horizon of the magnificent Earth, powers all these efforts through the solar arrays of the ISS current configuration orbiting high above.
