This is a NEW Condition STS-128 Official NASA Patch Sticker of the Last ISS Crew Rotation Mission & Delivery of the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Leonardo to ISS 7 Astronauts. Mouse over the pics for much more information, such as the last names of all the astronauts and cosmonauts.

STS-128 (ISS assembly flight 17A) was a NASA Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station (ISS) that launched on 28 August 2009. Space Shuttle Discovery carried the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Leonardo as its primary payload. Leonardo contained a collection of experiments for studying the physics and chemistry of microgravity. Three spacewalks were carried out during the mission, which removed and replaced a materials processing experiment outside ESA's Columbus module, and returned an empty ammonia tank assembly.[4]

The mission's first launch attempt was delayed due to weather concerns, including multiple weather violations in NASA's launch rules, beginning over two hours before the scheduled launch.[5][6][7] The second launch attempt, scheduled for 26 August 2009 at 01:10:22 EDT, was called off the previous evening due to an anomaly in one of the orbiter's fuel valves.[8][9][10] The launch finally took place on 28 August 2009 at 23:59 EDT. Discovery landed on 11 September 2009 at Edwards Air Force Base, which was the last landing of a shuttle to occur at the California site.

Nicole Stott was originally scheduled to return aboard Soyuz TMA-15, but a change in the flight plan was made due to the possible flight delays in future shuttle missions, which could have extended Canadian astronaut Robert Thirsk's mission beyond the six-month duration preferred for station crew members.

STS-128 was the final Space Shuttle flight used for ISS crew rotation, with Nicole Stott replacing Tim Kopra. Stott returned on STS-129, but that flight did not bring her replacement.

The mission of Christer Fuglesang was named Alissé by the European Space Agency. The name was proposed by Jürgen Modlich from Baierbrunn, Germany. The name refers to the 15th-century explorers who used the trade winds to follow Christopher Columbus across the oceans to the New World.

STS-128 also marked the first time two Hispanic Americans were on the same crew. John "Danny" Olivas of El Paso, Texas, made his second trip into space, and José M. Hernández of Stockton, California, made his first. Both are of Mexican heritage.

I have HUNDREDS of Baikonur, NASA, Cosmonaut, Astronaut, Space Shuttle items from NASA Dr. Juan Flores' estate to list, and will be listing them as time allows. Dr. Flores appears to have been NASA's Doctor in Residence at Baikonur for 20 years, assessing the health of American Astronauts and others pre and post space mission while he resided at Baikonur Cosmodrome. If you have a desire for a specific space mission item, feel free to message me and I will look through the items to see if I can find it. If you google NASA Doctor Flores Baikonur you will see a very interesting story of his life at the top of the google list.
