I kind of like these. I can't decide which I like more, maybe the NX-02 one.

I think the NX-01 got the shaft when it comes to logo coolness factor.

Actually, the other designs, while nice, all have too many protrusions to make good shoulder patches.

I agree, except for the NX-03 one. I could see that as being easily made into a patch.

Wouldn't Challenger come before Discovery?

Yes. As a matter of fact, if you wanted to be reeeeeally technical about it, it *could* have come before Columbia as well. But the most sensical scheme would be:

NX-01 Enterprise
NX-02 Columbia
NX-03 Challenger
NX-04 Discovery
NX-05 Atlantis
NX-06 Endeavour

You might throw a Buran and Pathfinder in there just for kicks, as well.

Which brings up a question (for me, anyway) - Is Buran the name of one specific spacecraft, or would it have been the name of their entire line of shuttles, just like Soyuz is the name of the current spacecraft line?

Buran was the name of the first orbiter. The second was to be called Ptichka, and the third was cancelled before getting a name.

If named after shuttles, Phoenix should also be a name, not named after Cochrane's warp vessel but EADS Phoenix

Buran translates to Snowflake doesn't it? I've never heard of Ptichka! cool - what does that translate to?

Was there a SUGGESTION for the third Soviet Space Shuttle?

And Enterprise -> Columbia -> Challenger (Space Shuttle Launch Order?) what was next Discovery -> Atlantis -> Endeavor? And was it Endeavor or Endeavour?

In that thread about patches at that TrekBBS board they said that OV-101 was Enterprise, OV-102 was Columbia but Challenger was something-99 - what's up with that was it built before Enterprise?

Nice, but could be better. Rev would have done a nice one.

I belive Buran translates to Showstorm, but I could be wrong.

Challenger was originally a structural test article (STA-099) and was later converted into an orbiter. (OV-99) Despite the lower number, it wasn't built before Enterprise, though. The orbiters as launched were as follows:

OV-101 Enterprise*
OV-102 Columbia
OV-99 Challenger
OV-103 Discovery
OV-104 Atlantis
OV-105 Endeavour**

*Enterprise never actually flew in space, but was used for flight tests in the upper atmosphere.

**Endeavour (yes that is the correct spelling, it was named for James Cook's ship) was built to replace Challenger after it was destroyed.
