Summary

Description
English: Emblem of Nasa's STS-93 mission.
  • The STS-93 mission patch, as designed by the five crew members. The STS-93 mission carried the Chandra X-Ray Observatory into low Earth orbit initiating its planned five-year astronomy mission. Chandra is the third of NASA’s great observatories, following the Hubble Space Telescope and the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. Chandra provides scientists an order-of-magnitude improvement over current capabilities at X-Ray wavelengths. Observations of X-Ray emissions from energetic galaxies and clusters, as well as black holes, promise to greatly expand current understanding of the origin and evolution of our universe. The STS-93 patch depicts Chandra separating from the Space Shuttle Columbia after a successful deployment. A spiral galaxy is shown in the background as a possible target for Chandra observations. The two flags represent the international crew, consisting of astronauts from both the United States and France.
