7. MISSION PATCHES

8. STS-114 (July 2005) Signifies the return of the Space Shuttle to flight and honors the memory of the STS-107 Columbia crew. Blue Shuttle rising above Earth's horizon includes the Columbia constellation of seven stars, echoing the STS-107 patch and commemorating the seven members of that mission Dominant design element of the STS-114 patch is the planet Earth, which represents the unity and dedication of the many people whose efforts allow the Shuttle to safely return to flight Against the background of the Earth at night, the blue orbit represents the International Space Station (ISS) Mission Specialists Soichi Noguchi, Stephen Robinson and Andrew Thomas, who will work on the Station during spacewalks, are named on the orbit Red sun on the orbit signifies the contributions of the Japanese Space Agency to the mission and to the ISS program Multi-colored Shuttle plume represents the broad spectrum of challenges for this mission, including Shuttle inspection and repair experiments, and International Space Station re-supply and repair.

11. COMMERCIAL SPACE MARKET Cygnus (Orbital) Dragon (SpaceX) The International Space Station facilitates the growth of a robust commercial market in low-Earth orbit for scientific research, technology development, and human and cargo transportation

12. GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP The International Space Station is a blueprint for global cooperation, enabling a U.S.-led multinational partnership that advances shared goals in space exploration.

13. SPACE LABORATORY The International Space Station is advancing scientific objectives in Earth, space, physical, and biological sciences, returning benefits to humanity.

14. 82 countries and areas have participated in International Space Station Research and Education Activities Since 1998, over 1700 scientific investigations have been conducted onboard WORLD WIDE PARTICIPATION

15. Liquid Cooling Technology Increases Exercise Efficiency: To keep astronauts’ airtight spacesuits from becoming hot and humid, Ames Research Center developed liquid cooling garments that were integrated into each suit’s long underwear. Vasper Systems, in San Jose, California, is using the technology in its liquid-cooled compression cuffs, which help people exercise more efficiently by concentrating lactic acid in their muscles SPINOFFS Read about more 2015 NASA Spinoffs http://spinoff.nasa.gov/Spinoff2015/pdf/2015_Brochure_Web.pdfhttp://spinoff.nasa.gov/Spinoff2015/pdf/2015_Brochure_Web.pdf
