A symbolic diamond from the Northwest Territories will launch into space and into history next month when Canadian Space Agency Astronaut Julie Payette flies aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour on Mission STS-127, scheduled for liftoff on June 13.
The Legendary Sky Diamond will be part of the Official Flight Kit on Payette's mission and
will return to Earth as a new symbol of northern sky knowledge and heritage. As part of The Legendary Sky Project, the diamond will be used to tell the story of diamonds on Earth and diamonds found elsewhere in the Universe.
