[i]The Crew-2 patch is a beautiful design that represents the second crew rotation flight with astronauts aboard the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft, hence the number "2" featured towards the bottom of the patch. Commander of the mission, astronaut Shane Kimbrough, said, "The determined expression of the Dragon reflects the strength of the team and their contribution to the exploration of space." He also shared the meaning of the five stars featured in the center of the patch. He said they represent the five space agencies cooperating in the International Space Station (ISS) program: NASA, the Canadian Space Agency, the European Space Agency (ESA), the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), and Roscosmos. The Crew Dragon spacecraft on the right represents the vehicle that will house the crew until they reach the space station. The names surrounding the design represent these four crew members: Commander Shane Kimbrough and Pilot Megan McArthur of NASA, Mission Specialist Thomas Pesquet (ESA), and Mission Specialist Akihiko Hoshide (JAXA).[/i]
