The STS-88 patch commemorates the first assembly flight to carry U.S. built hardware for construction the International Space Station. This flight's primary task is to assemble the cornerstone of the Space Station: the Node with the Functional Cargo Block.
The rising sun symbolizes the dawning of a new era of international cooperation in space and the beginning of a new program: The International Space Station. The Earth scene outlines the countries of the Station partners: The United States, Russia, those of the European Space Agency, Japan, and Canada. Along with the Pressurized Mating Adaptors and the Functional Cargo Block, the Node is shown in the final mating configuration while berthed to the Space Shuttle during the STS-88/2A mission.
