STS-62 Mission Insignia
STS-59 crew insignia
- The STS-59 insignia is dominated by Earth, reflecting the focus of the first Space Radar Laboratory (SRL-1) mission upon our planet's surface and atmosphere. The golden symbol of the astronaut corps emblem sweeps over Earth's surface from the Space Shuttle Endeavour, representing the operation of the SIR-C/Synthetic Aperture Radar (X-SAR) and the Measurement of Air Pollution from Space (MAPS) sensors. The astronaut emblem also signals the importance of the human element in space exploration and in the study of our planet. The star field visible below Earth represents the many talents and skill of the international SRL-1 team.
STS-65 Mission Insignia
The Space Shuttle Endeavour lifts off from launch Pad 39A on April 9, 1994, at 7:05 a.m. EDT to begin the nine-day STS-59/Space Radar Laboratory mission. The mission countdown clock also can be seen, giving the time into the mission after liftoff. The STS-59 mission is scheduled to end with a landing at KSC's Shuttle Landing Facility.

The Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM), known as Leonardo, can be seen in Endeavour's payload bay. Two Russian cosmonauts and an American astronaut, currently onboard the shuttle, will replace two American astronauts and a Russian cosmonaut now on the station.
