STS78 Space Shuttle Mission Retro Patch Nasa T Shirt

This is a great space T shirt featuring as it does a space shuttle sts78 mission patch logo printed in a retro distressed full colour style. On the STS-78 mission, five space agencies and research scientists from 10 countries worked together on primary payload of STS-78, Life and Microgravity Spacelab (LMS). More than 40 experiments flown were grouped into two areas: life sciences, which included human physiology and space biology, and microgravity science, which included basic fluid physics investigations, advanced semiconductor and metal alloy materials processing, and medical research in protein crystal growth. A test that could help raise Hubble Space Telescope to higher orbit in 1997 was also conducted during the second servicing mission. Columbia's vernier Reaction Control System jets were gently pulsed to boost orbiter's altitude without jarring payloads. Same exercise could be conducted with orbiter Discovery during Mission STS-82 to raise HST's orbit without impacting its solar arrays.
