  Title: STS-57 Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, crew insignia
  Description:
  STS-57 Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, crew insignia (logo), the 
  official insignia of the NASA STS-57 mission, depicts the Space Shuttle 
  Endeavour maneuvering to retrieve the European Retrievable Carrier (EURECA) 
  microgravity experiment satellite.  Spacehab -- the first commercial space 
  laboratory -- is depicted in the cargo bay (payload bay (PLB)), and its 
  characteristic shape is represented by the inner red border of the patch.
  The  three gold plumes surrounded the five stars trailing EURECA are
  suggestive of  the United States (U.S.) astronaut logo.  The five gold
  stars together with  the shape of the orbiter's mechanical arm form the
  mission's numerical  designation. The six stars on the American flag
  represent the U.S. astronauts  who comprise the crew.  With detailed input
  from the crewmembers, the final  artwork was accomplished by artist Tim
  Hall.  The names of the STS-57 flight  crewmembers are located along the
  border of the patch.  They are Commander  Ronald J. Grabe, Pilot Brian J.
  Duffy, Mission Specialist (MS) and Payload  Commander (PLC) G. David Low,
  MS 2 Nancy J. Sherlock, MS3 Peter J.K. Wisoff,  MS4 Janice E. Voss.Each
  crewmember contributed to the design of the insignia.
