STS 131 Patch NASA The STS 131 patch is a badge or emblem associated with the Space Shuttle mission of the same number, operated by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) in April 2010. The spacecraft involved was Discovery, making its thirty-first flight. This patch design symbolizes the mission's primary objective: delivering critical equipment and supplies to the International Space Station (ISS). The centerpiece of the patch showcases a white-gloved hand with an astrocan reaching towards a set of tools, symbolizing the human interaction and construction taking place on the ISS. The background of the STS 131 patch is composed of earth tones, representing the connection between Earth and space exploration. Various elements in the design reflect the mission's scientific endeavors, such as microscopic organisms, a crystalline structure, and the Space Station payload. These patches were used by astronauts, support personnel, and members of the general public to demonstrate their affiliation with NASA's STS 131 mission. The patch serves not only as a visual representation of the mission but also as a symbol of collaboration in space exploration.

Color-changing ceramic mugs with a glossy finish, black exterior, and white interior. Available in one size: 11 oz (≈330 ml). Heat-reactive coating reveals your custom design when filled with hot liquid. BPA- and lead-free, with a comfortable C-handle.

This mug brings a playful twist to the daily coffee or tea ritual. At room temperature, it looks like a simple black mug with a glossy finish. But add a hot beverage, and your chosen design fades into view, showing vivid colors against the white interior.

The ceramic body is durable enough for repeated use, while the C-shaped handle balances comfort and grip. Printing uses sublimation techniques that fuse color into the heat-reactive surface for crisp results when the design appears.

  • Material: ceramic with glossy black exterior and white interior.
  • Size: one standard size, 11 oz (≈330 ml).
  • Finish: glossy glaze with heat-sensitive surface.
  • Printing: sublimation process produces crisp, vibrant colors.
  • Safety: BPA-free and lead-free, suitable for everyday drinks.
  • Effect: design is faintly visible when cold, fully revealed when hot.

Perfect as a novelty gift or a fun personal mug, the heat-reactive design makes coffee breaks more engaging. It works well for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or hot chocolate.

  1. Daily routine: fill with any hot beverage to reveal your chosen artwork.
  2. Gifting: the “magic” reveal makes it a memorable present for birthdays, holidays, or office exchanges.
  3. Office use: sparks conversation while still being practical for everyday drinks.

Note: for best results, avoid designs that rely heavily on deep black backgrounds, as they may blend with the mug’s surface when cold.

Unlike standard mugs, color-changing mugs require gentler care to preserve the heat-reactive coating. Hand-wash only — avoid the dishwasher and abrasive scrubbers, which can damage the finish and reduce the effect.

The mug is safe for short microwave use when heating liquids, but repeated high-heat cycles may shorten the lifespan of the coating. Always allow the mug to cool before washing.

Available in one classic size: 11 oz (approximately 330 ml). It’s large enough for most standard coffee makers and fits comfortably in most cabinets.
