STS 71 Patch (NASA) The STS 71 patch is a symbol representing the space mission of the same name, launched by NASA on September 12, 1995. This particular mission was the eighth visit to the Russian Mir space station as part of the Shuttle-Mir Program. The patch features elements that signify the partnership between the two agencies involved, NASA and Roscosmos, as well as the specific mission's focus on scientific research. The patch showcases a stylized rendering of the Earth, representing the global nature of space exploration, with North America depicted in greater detail to reflect the launch site at Kennedy Space Center, Florida. Above the Earth, there is a stylized image of a Mir space station, symbolizing the destination of the mission. The primary colors used in the patch are blue (representing the sky and space) and red, white, and blue (reflecting the flags of both NASA and Roscosmos). The patch also includes a pair of wings to signify the space shuttle Atlantis, which was the vehicle used for this mission. The STS 71 patch serves as a visual representation of this significant space mission, encapsulating the partnership between NASA and Roscosmos, the focus on scientific research, and the journey to the Mir space station aboard the space shuttle Atlantis.

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.
