Hello…I’m the guy that designed the poster here at NASA. Frank De Winne the Commander of the mission bought the shirts online and wore them to the photo shoot. All the Astronauts/Cosmonauts were photographed separately then I cut them out in PhotoShop and put them together and added a cool background. NASA did get permission from CBS Paramount because the posters are not sold, they gave permission. It was meant to be a fun poster and get people involved in the mission that is still going on now. It wasn’t supposed to be technically accurate to Star Trek, just fun. The next poster I am working on will be the STS-132 crew posing in Minute Made Park in the Astro’s dug out.

to Nate
Originally, OV-101 was supposed to be called Constitution, but there was a grassroots movement to have the name of the ship changed to Enterprise.
Although NASA does not always follow Star Trek, sometimes Star Trek follows NASA. Take a look at the actual work uniforms for Expedition XXI

should have been new movie uniforms to be effective . TNG was popular 15 years ago. NASA‘S future is the kids, and they dont care about TNG.

Nichelle Nichols was a spokesperson for nasa for a few years-they all love trek there and always have-read some of the stories from the tos crew when they visited nasa–as far as the poster not done very well-well it is or was mostly internal and tongue in cheek-it only needed to be goof enuf to get the message/point spoof across-i think its great! I also think they chose tng costumes cuz its easy to find references-the new movie and even enterprise are harder to find reference wise–

I think its cool that they did this and I have nothing against Enterprise or TNG, but those uniforms have the screenprinted communicators & no black on the sides.

I sometimes look for Trek uniforms on Ebay & these are the kind I never bid on.

Wow, I think that’s sooo cool! I do wish they kept it solely an ‘Enterprise’ theme though since they have the ship in the background and like someone said, those uniforms are actually practical and was designed from a NASA perspective in mind. But no one gives a dam but us lol, so just fun to see! And I think the TNG type uniforms are most recognizable now since they been in the most shows.
