HUBBLE TELESCOPE SPACE PIN
The beloved Hubble telescope has had five servicing mission to keep it in top notch shape, and this enamel pin represents its second mission in 1997. Why was this significant? The success of the STS-82 mission allowed us to probe into the most distant reaches of the universe by increasing the Hubble's wavelength range, efficiency, and performance.
And the names surrounding the circumference of the pin belong to the seven-member crew who took part in this mission. Four astronauts (Mark Lee, Gregory Harbaugh, Steven Smith, and Joseph Tanner), Commander Kenneth Bowersox, pilot Scott Horowitz and Remote Manipulator System Operator Steven Hawley.
Put a pin on it to show your nerdy NASA side.
