Period
Owned by Marc Garneau after it was given to him in 1996 until he donated it to the corporation in 2024. Appartenait à Marc Garneau après que ça lui a été donné en 1996 et jusqu'à temps qu'il le donne à la Société en 2024.
Canada
This medal was awared to Marc Garneau upon the completion of his second Shuttle mission, STS-77. It was the first mission he flew as a Mission Specialist having completed additional training in 1992, rather than a Payload Specialist. The former has responsibilities that include systems and subsystems of the spacecraft where the latter is only responsible for a particular experiment or equipment test. Garneau was only the second Canadian astronaut to fly as a Mission Specialist, Chris Hadfield being the first only a year before. One of the most interesting things to note about this medal is that Garneau was not allowed to wear it as he was not American. (Ref 1) This illustrates that while Canadians were partners in the American space flight program, they were still outsiders in some respects. Cette médaille a été décernée à Marc Garneau lors de l'achèvement de sa deuxième mission de navette, STS-77. Ceci était la première mission qu'il a entretenu en tant que spécialiste de mission tandis qu'il a complété de l'entraînement supplémentaire en 1992, au lieu d'agir en tant que spécialiste de charge utile. Cette nouvelle position avait des responsabilités qui incluait les systèmes et sous-systèmes du véhicule spatial tandis que le dernier poste était responsable d'expérimentation spécifique ou des essais d'équipements. Garneau était seulement le deuxième astronaute canadien d'obtenir le poste de spéciliste de mission, Chris Hadfield étant le premier à l'être seulement un an avant. Il est intéressant de noter que Garneau n'avait pas le droit que porter cette médaille étant donné qu'il n'est pas américain. Ceci démontre que malgré le fait que les canadiens étaient partenaires dans le programme de vol spatial américain, ils étaient quand même vues comme des étrangers à certains égards.
Function
This medal is awarded to all space flight crew members in recognition of an astronaut's completion of a mission. Cette médaille est décernée à chaque membre d'équipage en reconnaissance de l'achèvement d'une mission d'un astronaute.
