First look at the updated NS-20 patch, after Pete Davidson was removed from the crew and replaced by New Shepard chief architect Gary Lai.

Symbolism explained by Blue Origin:
The NS-20 mission patch features unique elements representing each of our astronauts. Check out some of the designs in this patch:
  • The star is placed over Kent, Washington, Blue Origin's headquarters where Gary Lai has spent 18 years advancing space technology.

  • Female astronaut symbolizes Sharon Hagle's Space Kids Global Foundation, working to inspire young girls in STEM.

  • The world outside our windows, a nod to Jim Kitchen visiting all 193 U.N.-recognized countries.

  • The orbital ring on the patch represents George Nield's work at the Orbital Sciences Corporation and Jim Kitchen's work to promote Low Earth Orbit space trips.

  • The sailboat represents Marty Allen's passion for sailing.

  • The dots under the Hagles' names represent their 26th wedding anniversary.

  • Paw prints are a nod to all the dogs of Blue and Saba, the beloved dog of the Hagles.
