collectSPACE Astronaut's son draws insignia inspiration from father, mother and Leonardo da VinciLike any soon-to-be astronaut, Richard Garriott needed a patch to sew onto his spacesuit and to represent his mission. Unlike those who have launched before him however, Garriott had a unique source for his insignia's inspiration: his father's patch.  |

Super design! It's the perfect homage to his parents and his mission. |

The design belongs to Richard Garriott, thus it cannot be reproduced (commercially) without his permission. After he returns from space, it should become clearer how he intends to answer requests for his patch. |

One of these just sold on eBay for about $280. I was not sure how rare these were. I had a bid on it to about $75 just to test the waters (and was prepared to snipe higher), but that wouldn't even touch the final price. Evidently very few of these have ever escaped Garriott's private circle.I am learning as I go... |

What’s the patch to the left in the first photo with the woman on it? What’s the story with that one? |

As noted in the article that accompanies the photo, it is the Skylab II "wives" patch. Unbeknownst to Owen [Garriott] until he arrived on orbit, an alternate version of the Skylab II patch also flew, this one listing the names of the crewmen's wives – including Helen-Mary, Richard's mother – and altering da Vinci's "Vitruvian Man" to appear as a similarly-styled woman. You can read more about it on the Space Patches and Crew Patches websites. |

...and won one tonight (1/26/14) for under $70.I am noticing that there has been a gradual, but noticeable, downward slide in many patch bids on eBay since the end of 2011 (and end of the shuttle program). Bumping this thread to mention that fact. Anyone else seeing this? I guess the patch hobby has cooled somewhat over the last 2 years! |

Once returning from space, Richard (Garriott) handed out a number of his patches at events, and so in the years since, collectors who desire such have had more opportunities to obtain one.At $70, I would say the market is still strong considering the potential audience. |

Has he given out stickers too? I'm looking for a set of stickers for my collection for a number of years now with no luck. |

The seller I bought from had listed a number of the crew patch stickers (the descent module-shaped one with red border and the three cosmonauts holding up the earth) as of last night. Not the Garriott personal patch though. |

Can anyone provide the translation to the Russian version of his personal patch? I am not having much luck myself. Thank you. |

ekspeditiya poseshcheniya 15 = visiting mission 15Now, the 15. Where does that come from? Take a list of Soyuz flights (starting with TM-31) and you will find that TMA-13 was the 17th Soyuz to visit the International Space Station. Two of these flights were used to deliver a "first" Soyuz and a main expedition crew to the ISS (TM-31 to get started with Shepherd, Gidzenko and Krikalev, and, after the Columbia accident, TMA-2 took up the two-man Malenchenko-Lu care taker crew). All 15 remaining flights took up at least one short-term passenger who returned on a Soyuz that was already at the ISS and which was replaced with the newer vehicle he or she had launched on. - EP-1: Tito (TM-32)
- EP-2: Afanasev, Haigneré, Kozeev (TM-33)
- EP-3: Gidzenko, Shuttleworth, Vittori (TM-34)
- EP-4: Zalyutin, Lonchakov, De Winne (TMA-1)
- EP-5: Duque (TMA-3)
- EP-6: Kuipers (TMA-4)
- EP-7: Shargin (TMA-5)
- EP-8: Vittori (notice that there is an EP-8 in the Soyuz TMA-6 patch)
- EP-9: Olsen (TMA-7)
- EP-10: Pontes (TMA-8)
- EP-11: Ansari (TMA-9)
- EP-12: Simonyi (TMA-10)
- EP-13: Shukor (TMA-11)
- EP-14: So-Yeon (TMA-12)
- EP-15: Garriott (TMA-13)

According to: Second Visiting Crew was Viktor Afanasev, Claudie Haigneré and Konstantin Kozeev. Roberto Vittori took part the same spacecraft as Mark Shuttleworth.As for EP-7: should be correct Yuri Shargin (TMA-5). More to complete: - EP-16: again Simonyi (TMA-14)
- EP-17: Guy Laliberté (TMA-16)
- EP-18: Andreas Mogensen and Aydin Aymbetov (TMA-18M)
- EP-19: Hazzaa AlMansoori (MS-15)
