STS-37 (NASA) STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal - Design Description

This decal design commemorates the STS-37 mission, a pivotal moment in space exploration flown by the Space Shuttle Atlantis. The artwork centers around the core mission objective: the deployment of the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO), a crucial instrument in NASA's Great Observatories program.

Visual Representation

The design prominently features a stylized depiction of the Space Shuttle Atlantis, rendered in sleek, dynamic lines suggesting motion and flight. Positioned nearby is a representation of the CGRO itself, showcasing its distinctive multi-faceted structure. The inclusion of both elements immediately identifies the mission and its purpose, creating a clear visual narrative.

Symbolism and Meaning

The juxtaposition of the Shuttle and the CGRO is intentionally symbolic. The Shuttle represents human ingenuity and the capacity to reach beyond Earth. The CGRO, in turn, symbolizes the pursuit of knowledge about the universe and the exploration of high-energy phenomena. The artwork conveys the collaborative efforts of human spaceflight to advance scientific understanding.

The overall design creates a visual representation of exploration and discovery. The dynamic representation of the shuttle and the CGRO represents humankind’s ambition for both technological achievement and the insatiable thirst to explore the mysteries of space.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
