SpaceX Commercial Resupply Services-7 patchAfter seven missions to the International Space Station, including six official resupply missions for NASA, SpaceX is preparing to launch its seventh Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) mission to the orbiting laboratory in June 2015. SpaceX CRS-7 is the seventh of at least 15 missions to the space station that the company will fly for NASA. On CRS-7, the Dragon will deliver several tons of supplies, including materials and equipment to support science investigations during Expeditions 44 and 45, as well as the first of two International Docking Adapters. These adapters will be installed on the station to facilitate docking of commercial crew spacecraft, including the Boeing CST-100 and SpaceX Crew Dragon.  |

Were any patches produced and, if so, will they be available to collectors? |

Patches were produced, however the only people to receive them (per SpaceX) were the students who had experiments aboard, the invited launch guests and some SpaceX employees.The patches were not distributed to the press and were pulled from distribution for sale. |

I hope they have a change of mind and release them as Orbital did with the ORB-3 patch, or with the end of the year patch sets. |

The above SpX-7 patch has product number 247038 and date code 10/15/20 so far. This can be found on a label stuck to the cellophane packet the patches come in. |
