US NASA Space Shuttle Mission STS-118 Endeavour Patch

The US NASA Space Shuttle Mission STS-118 Endeavour Patch commemorates the 22nd flight of Space Shuttle Endeavour, launched on August 8, 2007. STS-118 was part of the International Space Station assembly missions and delivered the S5 truss segment, a new gyroscope, and carried out multiple spacewalks for station maintenance. The crew consisted of seven astronauts, including Mission Specialist Barbara Morgan, the first educator astronaut to participate in a shuttle mission.

Patches like this are standard issue for NASA flight crews and support personnel and are also produced for collectors. This item serves as a historical artifact reflecting both the achievements of NASA’s human spaceflight program and the continued development of the ISS during the 2000s. It provides contextual significance for collectors of space memorabilia and military antiques.
