Expedition 35 begins with Soyuz TMA-06M undocking in March 2013. Three new crew members arrive shortly thereafter on TMA-08M. <UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>Canadian Space Agency astronaut Chris Hadfield, commander <LI>NASA astronauts Tom Marshburn and Chris Cassidy <LI>Roscosmos cosmonauts Roman Romanenko, Pavel Vinogradov and Aleksandr Misurkin</UL> <center>Expedition 35 mission patch</center> Emblazoned with a bold 35 for the 35th expedition to the International Space Station (ISS), this patch portrays a natural moonlit view of the Earth from the ISS at the moment of sunrise, one of the sixteen that occur each day at orbital velocity, with glowing bands of Earth's atmosphere dispersing the sun's bright light into primary colors. The Earth is depicted as it often appears from space, without recognizable coastlines or boundaries - just as the international endeavor of living and working together in space blurs technical and cultural boundaries between nations. The ISS is the unseen central figure of the image, since the view is from a window of the Space Station itself, commemorating full use of the Space Station as a long-duration dwelling from which humans can develop techniques and technologies to further explore. The crew points out, "The arc of the Earth's horizon with the sun's arrows of light imply a bow shooting the imagination to Mars and the cosmos where our species may one day thrive."</BLOCKQUOTE> <center>The patch was designed by artist Paul Fjeld (see below) working with Chris Hadfield and Tom Marshburn.</center></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>PowerCat</TD><TD>WOW!! Good looking patch for sure. Don't remember seeing a patch design released so soon before other space missions. Expeditions 30-34 still to come out with their designs.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>LM-12</TD><TD>Nice patch - looks a bit empty though without the crew names. Emblem designs that include crew names can easily be changed if a crew member is replaced before launch, as was done on STS-133. Patches are another story. They could be mass-produced after launch to avoid that problem.If it's a manned flight, then the patch should reflect that. </TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>hoorenz</TD><TD>Artist is Paul Fjeld.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>Robert Pearlman</TD><TD>Paul also designed the <A HREF="http://www.pfinspace.com/space.html" TARGET=_blank>STS-90 patch</A> and oversaw the <A HREF="http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/Forum41/HTML/000274.html">restoration of LM-2</A> at the National Air and Space Museum.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>KSCartist</TD><TD>Paul has done an outstanding job!
