Once again, partway through an on-going mission (STS-122), another mission patch is released. Here is STS-126:  IP: Logged |

Better than being shaped like Leonardo the Ninja Turtle!

Nice patch; it also seems to have some similarities to one of the STS-62A artwork.IP: Logged |

Is that the stylized constellation Orion in the BG there? Symbolic of the forthcoming transition to Project Orion?------------------

Very early. I was originally expecting the STS-125 patch to be out about now but everything seems to be coming out faster, including crew photos.If they keep revealing patches and crew photos this early we'll end up having nothing to look forward to near the end of the program! Nice patch though. IP: Logged |

I suspect that is meant to represent Mars (and perhaps also the "Beyond" in 'Moon, Mars and Beyond'). But maybe the artists can let us know... IP: Logged |

The license was only extended to NASA for internal use. As such I do not know if anything more than the art was ever officially produced.IP: Logged |

They appear on eBay from time to time. If you're patient, you'll find one eventually.------------------

I like the patch for 126. Great colors and design. The designers did an awesome job. I look forward to seeing it on their suits! IP: Logged |
