Julie Payette's patch for STS-127

[jacqmans]

This patch commemorates Julie Payette's participation in mission STS-127 to the International Space Station. The central element is a magnificent image of the Earth taken from space. A robotic arm spells out the astronaut's name in electronic circuitry. It not only represents Canadian successes in space robotics but also Julie Payette's duties on this mission. She will be operating three different robotic arms: Canadarm, Canadarm2 and a Japanese arm.

Nice, it sort looks like a hockey stick!

Do the six stars have a significance?

It does look like a hockey stick, you're right.

Honestly, I'm not all that crazy about the design. It's great that she has a patch dedicated for her, and it encompasses some great acheivements, but I just think it's lack-luster. My 2 cents.
