The STS-77 mission had a number of objectives, including the deployment of a satellite, the conduct of scientific experiments, and the testing of new technologies.

The STS-77 mission patch is a logo or insignia that was designed to represent the mission and its objectives. The patch typically features a design or symbol that represents the mission and its crew, and is often worn by the astronauts and other members of the mission team as a way to show their participation in the mission. The STS-77 mission patch may also be used on mission-related materials and documents, such as mission reports and presentations.
