[i]The crew for Soyuz TMA-8 was wearing a new Zvezda patch on their Sokols for their official picture, showing the abbreviation 'MKC' (Mezhdunarodnaya Kosmicheskaya Stantsiya - International Space Station). The same sort of Zvezda emblem patch had been used during flights to the Salyut and Mir Space Stations - the ISS Sokols up to that point had an 'empty' Zvezda patch. The MKC patch was fabricated by Alex Panchenko and produced by Shanghai Dingsheng Fabric Co. It was never worn on the flight Sokols by any Soyuz crew.[/i]
