Jack Lousma’s flown embroidered STS–3 mission patch, measuring 4? in diameter, affixed to a light blue 10 x 8 presentation sheet signed and flight -certified in black felt tip, “My patch worn in flight on STS–3. Jack Lousma.” The sheet reads, in full: “Man–Systems Division presents to: Jack Lousma, Commander, This original patch worn during your STS–3 mission.” Includes a small photo showing Lousma seated in in the Columbia, the patch visible on the right breast of his polo shirt. Matted and framed. In fine condition. Sewn to the shirt of the mission commander, this patch spent eight days aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia during its 130 Earth orbits. Given its distinction as having been worn during space flight and not relegated to stowage, this is an immensely appealing and uncommon example of a flown mission patch.
