I would like to start a topic on robotic missions' pins and buttons in order to learn what's out there.

A friend who helped lead two recent planetary missions at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory sent me his collection of pins that he amassed in his desk while there (he has since left JPL).

Among the mission insignia pins (e.g. Dawn, Genesis, 2001 Mars Odyssey, Deep Impact) and anniversary pins (e.g. TOPEX/Poseidon 10th anniversary, 40th anniversary Deep Space Network, 30 Years Voyager, Ulysses 1990-2008) were also a number of milestone pins I hadn't seen before.

For example: Grace 3 Years, Mars Odyssey 10,000 Orbits, Voyager 1 100 AU, and two for Cassini — 2 Years and 4 Years at Saturn.

The top is pins of missions, payload and experiments that I have supported.

The bottom is the remainder of my collection.

Jim, as a space pins collector I looked over your collection with great interest. Some of your pins I never met before.
