Background Information
  • Mission patches have become a part of every
    manned spaceflight mission. Todays astronauts
    launch with patches of their own design sewn on
    the suits to represent the objectives and goals
    of their missions. This wasnt always the case.
    The Mercury astronauts launched with only the
    NASA insignia sewn on their suits. The Mercury
    patches we see today were made after the missions
    to commemorate the flights. The first flight to
    use a patch in addition to the NASA patch was
    Gemini IV. This flight crew wore an American Flag
    patch on the shoulders of their pressure suits.
    This patch has become a permanent addition to all
    pressure suits worn by American astronauts.The
    crew of Gemini V created the first crew-designed
    mission patch to be worn in space. This began the
    trend of mission patches being created to
    represent the crews mission and to personalize
    their flight. Each crew works together to come up
    with a rough idea for the design of the patch.
    This idea is then given to a graphic designer to
    finalize the design and create the final images
    that will be made into a patch. The patches are
    then worn on the right chest of the space suit,
    below the astronauts nameplate.
