Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by CollectingPatches: [B]Anton Shkaplerov has a "500 Days" patch. I don't remember where I saw it but I think it was on his flight suit before the Soyuz MS-19 mission. There was also a thread in the Buy, Sell, Trade subforum a while back here on collectSPACE where the seller was selling one of these "500 Days" patches. I think they're made by someone in the TSPK.[/B][/QUOTE]

This must have been made for the small (but growing) number of astronauts who have been in space for 100+ days. </TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Jay Chladek</TD><TD>A fair portion of the recent ISS astronaut contingent has gotten them. Sunita Williams, Clay Anderson, Dan Tani and Peggy Whitson all have them (as well as Ken Bowersox and Don Pettit I believe along with others).In Tani's case, I think somebody added it to his flight suit while he was still in orbit as I can recall the first images I saw of him wearing a blue flight suit when he got back had the patch on it (less then 24 hours after he returned home). Of course his flight wasn't originally supposed to last that long and it also is a hard earned badge considering his mom died while he was still in orbit.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>Tom</TD><TD>Any chance that they'll produce a "200 Day" patch for guys like Michael Lopez-Alegria and possibly Greg Chamitoff?</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Robert Pearlman</TD><TD>I don't know about a '200 Days' patch, but Mark Kelly presented Garrett Reisman an "Almost 100 Days" patch at the STS-124 and Expedition 17 presentation held this past Thursday in Houston.
