STS-86 - 4" - Unknown Maker (No Wolf)

STS-86 was a Space Shuttle Atlantis mission to the Mir space station. This was the last Atlantis mission before it was taken out of service temporarily for maintenance and upgrades, including the glass cockpit.

The seventh Mir Docking mission carried a SPACEHAB double module for the docking with Mir, cargo transfer and an astronaut exchange.
Highlights of the 10 day mission include five days of docked operations between Atlantis and Mir and the exchange of crew members Foale and Wolf to continue a permanent American presence of the Russia complex. A spacewalk is scheduled to retrieve the four Mir Environmental Effects Payloads which were attached to the Mir's docking module by Linda Godwin and Rich Clifford during STS-76 to characterize the environment surrounding the Mir space station. Atlantis will carry the SPACEHAB double module to support the transfer of logistics and supplies for Mir and the return of experiment hardware and specimens to Earth.
There is thick white stitching outlining the "stars" stripe below the globe. No Wolf tab.

Jean-Loup Chretien Personal Patch

Personal patch for Jean-Loup Chretien. The "Postale de Nuit" was created at the end of WW II by Didier Daurat, a famous pilot among others like St. Exupery and Mermoz, who both flew the former Aeropostale between the 2 wars, as well as Daurat. He probably chose that name in remembering of St. Ex. and his famous book "Vol de Nuit". The owl came naturally as the bird who flies and sees in the dark. Flying the Postale is for me a tremendous excitement, as I always feel like these famous pilots are still around us. Payload specialist on STS-86, also Soyuz T-6 and TM-7 to Mir.

STS-86 - 4 - A-B Emblem No Wolf

This patch is lacking its Payload Specialist tab featuring Wolf. 
Wendy B. Lawrence was scheduled to replace C. Michael Foale onboard Mir. However, due to concerns about the minimum size restrictions of the Russian MIR Orlan EVA Spacesuit, she was replaced by her backup, David Wolf. Wolf was originally scheduled to fly on the STS-89 mission to Mir and join the Mir 24 crew.
