Designed by Luc van den Abeelen, inspired by the so called "Fisherman" statue at Baikonur. Interesting detail: commander Max Suraev already chose this as his patch in March 2011, when he still was commander for Soyuz TMA-09M. |

Thanks a lot for the artist!It's the first space monument we see in Baikonur when going from the airport "Krainiy" to the city. The mosaic is called "0 g" ("Apeusanteur" in French) and people is calling it "fisherman" cause the cosmonaut shows the size of the fish he got... Really good design! |

Thanks for the explanation of "The Fisherman." At first I didn't get it, but now I find it rather unique and clever.However I assume that the star pattern is supposed to be the constellation Cepheus? I say this because it doesn't look like any representation of Cepheus that I have ever seen. The way have also seen it like this:  On the patch it almost looks more helix shaped, then a square with a triangle. |

I got recently information the crew had one more version of the patch where the cosmonaut is flying upside down. |

Yes, it does exist. It was a special request by Max Suraev, as a small joke, to hand out to friends and family etc. |
