In the 2 o'clock position of the patch, there are 2 (Russian) letters and the nummber 8.
What does that signify?
It couldn't be manned Soyuz missions to ISS, since this will be the 10th one...6 Expedition crews and 4 Taxi crews.
Thank you.

TomIt refers to the 8th visiting crew. But it actually means the Vittori "Mission". Tim IP: Logged |

8th visiting crew?
I'm trying to figure out what constitutes a "visiting crew".
This will be the 11th expedition crew.
The 6th (EXP) crew delivered by Soyuz...there were 5 by shuttle.
There were 4 "taxi" crews.
Where does the "8" come from?
Thanks, Tim.

Tom,My guess based on what John told me is to check how many ESA astronauts have conducted their short (during handover) missions. Kuipers, Duque, etc. Since the TMA patch is designed mainly for the third crewmember aboard the Soyuz for launch. Tim IP: Logged |

There were 4 taxi crews where all three aboard went up and down.But this is the 8th Soyuz exchange. This constitutes a taxi mission too, but only Vittori is a 'taxi' member while the Shuttle is not flying. IP: Logged |

Or just think of it as the Soyuz swap out every 6 months.[This message has been edited by Ben (edited March 16, 2005).] IP: Logged |

Hi guys!
I feel I just have to clarify a bit about the 'two patches for one mission'...
In fact, they are the seperate 'mission patch' and the 'crew patch'. This finds its origin in the old Interkosmos missions to Salyut and Mir. In those days, there were patches depicting the logo for the mission, usually based on the flags of the Soviet Union and the participating country. Other than Shuttle mission patches, names of the astro/cosmonauts were not included in the design. That is why the 'crew patch' with names was introduced, starting with Mir 92, as the participants wanted a souvenir of their space mission. So the current crew patches are not designed mainly for the cosmonaut in the third seat: they are a design by/for the crew that launch together on Soyuz.IP: Logged |

Hi all-I feel for the guy who designed that patch. His art made it to the "official TMA-6 crew portrait" but because Sergei likes Pachenko's design it doesn't make it to launch.
Of course there was similar confusion for TMA-5. We'll have to see which emblem is placed on the console in the ISS MCC. Tim IP: Logged |

During tonight's docking, the original TMA-6 patch (as opposed to Krikalev's design) was clearly visible on display at the front of the TsUP (Russian Mission Control), next to the Exp. 10 patch and the ENEIDE mission logo.IP: Logged |

Hi Robert-Maybe all Krikalev agreed to do was launch with Pachenko's TMA-6 patch. For those of us who collect it will mean obtaining both (just to be sure).
Glad to see the original TMA-6 being utilized.

Received from a reader: quote:
There was a question regarding what constitutes a "Soyuz Visiting Crew." The Russians have been using this nomenclature for years, generally to describe crews who are not a long-duration "Expedition" crew. For ISS, it is a crew that delivers a new Soyuz and returns on the old one. If memory serves, Mir visiting crews included the Europeans and others who flew on Soyuz exchange flights, and also the U.S. astronauts who flew as part of Phase 1 (and were delivered/returned by Shuttle, and tended to overlap Mir Expedition Crews): VC1 - Musabayev, Baturin, Tito (TM-32/2S up, TM-31/2R down)
VC2 - Afanasyev. Kozeev, Haignere (TM33/3S up, TM-32/2S down)
VC3 - Gidzenko, Vittori, Shuttleworth (TM-34/4S up, TM-33/3S down)
VC4 - Zalyotin, DeWinne, Lonchakov (TMA-1/5S up, TM-34/4S down)
VC5 - Duque (TMA-3/7S up, TMA-2/6S down)
VC6 - Kuipers (TMA-4/8S up, TMA-3/7S down)
VC7 - Shargin (TMA-5/9S up, TMA-4/8S down)
VC8 - Vittori (TMA-6/10S up, TMA-5/9S down)
