STS-61 (NASA) STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal - Design Overview

This decal design commemorates the pivotal STS-61 mission, a landmark event in space exploration history. The artwork celebrates the daring first servicing mission to the Hubble Space Telescope, a mission that revitalized the program and reshaped our view of the cosmos.

Visual Representation

The core of the design likely features a visual representation of the Space Shuttle Endeavour, the vehicle that carried the STS-61 crew. The shuttle may be depicted in a dynamic pose, perhaps with its payload bay open, signifying the intricate repair work performed in orbit. Alongside the shuttle, the iconic Hubble Space Telescope is a key element, visually linked to the shuttle to illustrate their collaborative mission.

Supporting elements could include stylized stars and galaxies, representing the vast universe Hubble explores and the transformative effect of the mission on the telescope's capabilities. These elements contribute to the sense of exploration and discovery.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design conveys a sense of ingenuity, teamwork, and the perseverance of the STS-61 crew. The presence of the Space Shuttle and Hubble Space Telescope symbolizes the critical partnership between humanity and its tools for scientific exploration. The overall design could represent the triumph of ingenuity over adversity, turning a potentially disastrous situation into a groundbreaking success.

The vibrant colors and sharp lines of the design are intended to capture the excitement and hope that accompanied the mission. It is a visual celebration of NASA's ability to overcome challenges and its dedication to pushing the boundaries of human knowledge and space exploration.

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.
