STS-26 - Infrared Communications Flight Experiment (IRCFE)

Submitted by liem on Sun, 04/14/2013 - 15:05

Using the same kind of invisible light that remotely controls our home TV sets and VCRs, mission specialist George "Pinky" Nelson is to conduct experimental voice communications with his STS-26 crewmates via infrared, rather than standard radio frequency waves.

This patch has slightly different stitching than the other version of this patch.

This appears to be the original version. A second version can be found with slightly different embroidery. For example, this one uses gold thread for the lettering.
