STS-41G - Swissartex

STS 41-G was the 13th flight of NASA's Space Shuttle program and the sixth flight of Space Shuttle Challenger. Challenger launched on 5 October 1984, and conducted the second shuttle landing at Kennedy Space Center on 13 October. It was the first shuttle mission to carry a crew of seven, including the first crew with two women (Sally Ride and Kathryn Sullivan), the first American EVA involving a woman (Sullivan), and the first Canadian astronaut (Marc Garneau).

The Swissartex version is very similar to the A-B Emblem version. The Canadian flag near Garneau lacks the dashed stiching of the A-B version.

Swissartex also manufactured another version of this STS-41G patch, but as a one piece patch with a shiny vacuum sealed backing to it. Later modern versions of this patch were also manufactured as one piece patches with a shiny plastic coated backing by Eagle Crest Emblem Inc. in Taiwan.
