Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by Robert Pearlman on 10-24-2023 09:38 PM Ken Havekotte pictured and shared details about the patches you identify in an earlier post about <A HREF="http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/Forum20/HTML/001499.html">Shuttle closeout crew and suit tech philately.</A> With regards to the 2020 closeout crew patch, in particular, Ken wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]The ... patch, while the same basic configuration of the original NASA/LSOC Astronaut Closeout Crew design, was recently redone, or should I say the crew hatch portion of it, was reconstructed by well-known space station crew patch designer "Artonaut" Tim Gagnon of Titusville, Florida. [/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> You can also find an earlier discussion about the Shuttle Crew Escape Team <A HREF="http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/Forum18/HTML/001238.html">here</A>. It was worn by United Space Alliance suit techs, rather than members of the closeout crew. Some of closeout crew's patches changed over the course of the program. At times, the crew's overalls included a patch for the Kennedy Space Center. After the loss of Columbia in 2003, the crew wore the STS-107 memorial patch (at least for some missions, including STS-114, STS-121 and STS-125). There is also a flight crew equipment/extravehicular activity (FCE/EVA) group patch showing an advanced crew escape suit (ACES) facing an extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) that at least [URL=https://www.flickr.com/photos/n8zim/5481584410/]one closeout crew member wore[/URL] (second from left).
