STS-118 pennant design winner selected
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has selected the winner of the "NASA Space Pennant Design Challenge."
Representatives of NASA; American Online's kids service, KOL; and Mad Science said the winner, Tapasya Das of Mount Laurel, N.J., was selected for a pennant entitled "Education 4 Exploration." The pennant will fly on space shuttle Endeavour's STS-118 mission, targeted to launch in August.
The grand prize also includes the opportunity for the winner to view the shuttle's launch.
NASA said the competition received thousands of entries showcasing students' vision for space. The competition required students to research, apply what they learned, and write an explanation of their design and how their pennant incorporates their knowledge about the STS-118 shuttle flight or America's long-term exploration strategy.
