Space Shuttle Patches 1991-1995

From 1992 to 1995 there were a total of 35 Space Shuttle flights. The first flight of 1996 was STS-37 on January 11. STS-49 marked the first flight of shuttle Endeavour, replacing Challenger and bringing the fleet back up to 4 orbiters. STS-49 also featured the first 3-person space walk as the Solar Max satellite was captured using the shuttle's robot arm. Astronauts made repairs and the satellite was released back into orbit. Another repair mission occurred on STS-61 as the Hubble Space Telescope was captured and refitted with a corrective lens to compensate for a defective primary mirror. STS-71 was the first shuttle mission to dock with the Russian space station Mir. Atlantis was the final orbiter to launch in 1995 on November 12.
