Robert Pearlman | Soyuz TMA-17 commander Oleg Kotov was specific in his comments during our interview together that while including the children's artwork, his own ideas went into the creation of this patch. |
benguttery | Smile everyone! |
KSCartist | It's a cute design. The first in recent memory that doesn't place surnames in the order in which they will sit in the spacecraft. |
KAPTEC | Cute, simply and very nice. I can't wait to get one for my collection. Once again, congratulations Luc. |
spaceman | Some simple yet beautiful designs being produced here. Getting the children involved has so many benefits... probably least of all some great additions to our collections. |

lucspace | This ebay listing offers an unauthorised reproduction of the Soyuz TMA-17 patch. The official patch will be available for collectors through Spacepatches.nl in December. |
lm5eagle | Many thanks for this posting. Its always tempting to rush off and buy a replica, but your well timed posting has prevented a moment of rashness in favour of waiting for the real deal. Please continue to keep us posted. |
