The bronze medal features the design of the mission patch.  The Space Shuttle is seen docked at the International Space Station.  The star is a symbol of the astronauts.  At the bottom of the image, the sun is beginning to rise over the Earth. 

STS-121 was launched on July 4, 2006, and returned to Earth on July 17.  During its almost 13-day mission, it tested safety and repair techniques and flew supplies and equipment to the International Space Station.  A European space agency astronaut was on board and stayed at the International Space Station after the Discovery returned home.
