T O P I C R E V I E WRobert PearlmanSoyuz TMA-01M mission patchThe Soyuz TMA-01M mission patch represents the first flight of the new "digital" Soyuz TMA-M class spacecraft and the TMA-01M crew, commander Alexander Kaleri and flight engineers Scott Kelly and Oleg Skripochka. Kaleri described his crew's patch to collectSPACE in July: It is a hexagon with flags and families [names]: two flags -- American and Russian -- and three families. Inside there is a silhouette of the Soyuz composed from digits, zeros and ones, above the planet flying through the Sun and some stars. And there is an outline of a crane as the backdrop of the Soyuz. The Soyuz is represented digitally out of zeros and ones with the crane. Soyuz TMA-01M is scheduled to launch October 7, 2010 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome to bring Kaleri, Kelly and Skripochka to join the International Space Station's Expedition 25 crew.UPDATE: Roscosmos formally debuted the TMA-01M mission patch on Sept. 10. The announcement included the artwork by 12-year-old Alexander Turovsky of Michurinsk, Russia, which contributed to the emblem's design. KSCartistSuper Job! Very creative way to illustrate to new flight software and hardware.It will be a pleasure to fly along side this design.KAPTECGreat work guys (Luc, Jacques, Erik...). It will be a pleasure to "fly again" with you. Cheers for a well done job! music_spaceWhat if the digital code means something?0101001101010100010011010100000100101101001100000011000101001101On edit: I corrected a typo in the fourth to last and second to last sequences.PlayalindaThe second to last one would look good in my bank account. Mike DixonNot in Zimbabwean dollars it wouldn't. webhamster quote:Originally posted by music_space:What if the digital code means somethingIt doesn't. It's not a valid binary sequence.Hart SastrowardoyoI was thinking Okuda had a hand in designing the patch, but "11001001" doesn't appear in sequence. ("11001001" was the title of a Star Trek: The Next Generation ep.)Personally, I hope the last four numbers - 1101 - doesn't represent some sort of program alarm. hoorenz quote:Originally posted by music_space:What if the digital code means something?

Next hint: Google, Binary translatorbengutteryIt says: STMA-01MhoorenzYes, it does say "STMA-01M". In the mean time, the back up patch can be seen worn by the back up crew here.webhamster quote:Originally posted by hoorenz: Okay! Next hint: Google, Binary translatorOK, yes, now it says something. When I first checked it out I must have been using the version that had the (now-corrected) typos in it which is why it came back invalid.Mike ZThis is truly a unique patch, different than any space patch. Really a fantastic job! Congratulations on a great patch that really stands out from all of the other space patches! hoorenzHere is some additional info on the design of the patch.The Soyuz and the crane are forming an 'X' shape, the universal symbol of test flight, to emphasize that this is the first flight of a new type of Soyuz vehicle. The orange border and 'technical' shape also refer to this.Both spacecraft and crane are flying towards an orbital sunrise. The nine rays of the Sun stand for the individual members of the Expedition 25 and 26 crews that Kaleri, Kelly and Skripochka will be a part of. Three larger stars, constructed from simple mathematical symbols, symbolize the Soyuz crew.dogcrew5369You could say they have been "uploaded" to the ISS. I know, corny.pargoo Hi-res version now they're up?Marwin2Is it a crane or a stork?hoorenz quote:Originally posted by Marwin2:Is it a crane or a stork? When we finalized the design of the patch in May of this year, a digital version of the winning children's drawing was not immediately available. Instead, the bird was described by Kaleri as a "журавля", which is a crane in Russian. So that answers your question! Which also gives me an opportunity to credit someone. Without the drawing available, we were given the freedom to use whatever crane would suit the Digital Soyuz idea. We ended up using a silhouette, based on an image of the November 2009 Sandhill Crane migration in Indiana. The photo was taken by a bird loving veterinarian from Illinois, Tim Wallace, who generously gave permission to use it.music_spaceFrom Roscosmos' YouTube channel:Baikonur Seen With Children's Eyes.The winners of the international children contest Draw the Emblem of the Russian Manned Spacecraft Soyuz TMA Crew first former Marina Korolenko from Murmansk region and sixth former Sasha Turovsky from Tambov region visited the Cosmodrome Baikonur.
