It is absolutely gorgeous. </TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>Robert Pearlman</TD><TD>According to Woody Hoburg speaking at today's Crew-6 pre-flight press briefing, the Expedition 69 patch will be used as is (though presumably with the names changed accordingly). The patch, he said, was largely designed by Loral O'Hara, who was originally scheduled to launch on Soyuz MS-23 and join Expedition 69, but now will likely fly in the fall on Soyuz MS-24 and join Expedition 70. The members of Crew-6 asked and received O'Hara's permission to continue using her design.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>IconDesign29</TD><TD>Well this wasn't exactly the usual sort of rollout of a patch as I've had in the past, but I am really thrilled people seem to like the design from what has been shown so far. In particular, I am glad that the Crew-6 folks like it as well per today's briefing.When I was working on the MC-23 design last year, I was asked to take a stab at the Expedition 69 patch per a photo of the Profi window that Loral had the idea of using as a style for the design. From there, I designed it all from scratch as inspired by the colors and linework of the mid-century style stained glass window. I think it was a great idea and made for a truly unique design. I am glad it will still be used and hope everyone likes it when you see the full digital version.However, I do not know which version will be used. I created two variations — with and without the names. We'll see which way they go with it.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>Robert Pearlman</TD><TD>Blake, congrats on another awesome patch design!

It's always a relief to get such positive feedback on these designs when they are finally publicly revealed, especially after having worked on them so long ago.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>Robert Pearlman</TD><TD>With today's (March 28) start of Expedition 69, NASA <A HREF="https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/expedition-69-crew-insignia" TARGET=_blank>has released</A> the mission patch art:<center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/iss69_patch02-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/iss69_patch02.jpg" width="400" height="393"></a></center> <blockquote>Expedition 69 Patch DescriptionThe Expedition 69 patch reflects the mission of the International Space Station to enable long-term exploration of space, for the benefit of Earth. The unique mosaic design is inspired by the vintage, Art Deco stained glass window in Star City, Russia that provides a stylistic portrayal of the beauty of space exploration. The number "69" forms a circle to symbolize the international partnerships and collaboration that make the ISS program possible. The Earth is the central element inside the "6", as our home planet and the primary beneficiary of research onboard space station. The star shining from Earth, spanning multiple continents, represents the ground teams around the world who support every aspect of this expedition and ensure our safe return home. The ISS itself signifies the contributions of thousands of people over the past several decades, whose vision and sustained efforts have made this miracle of a laboratory an unparalleled success. Looking towards the future, the next big steps in human space exploration are reflected in the Moon and Mars. The sun around Mars is symbolic of the human imagination, curiosity, and ingenuity that draws us to explore. The two white stars in the sky are taken directly from the Star City mural. The larger star represents the family and friends whose love and support makes this endeavor possible. The smaller star represents the explorers who came before us and helped pave the way to the stars.</blockquote></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>lucspace</TD><TD>AB Emblem has produced an embroidered version.

The colors appear rather different from the NASA released image to the woven example. Seems to be too purple.Why has there been such a delay in this being released?</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Robert Pearlman</TD><TD>Part of the delay was because the space station partners needed time to decide when Expedition 69 would begin. Generally, expeditions ended and began with the departure of a Soyuz crew, but with Soyuz MS-22 left the station without a crew, so there was some debate whether to extend Expedition 68 or begin Expedition 69. Ultimately, the latter won out, but the decision was made relatively recently, such that the approval for the patch was delayed, too.As for the colors, I can recall one other patch where an early example photo made the blues appear more purple than were in real life. I guess we'll have to wait and see what the patch looks like when received.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>Russian</TD><TD>This vest, photographed aboard the ISS, was produced by Kentavr with the ISS-69 simplified patch embroidered directly on its cloth:<center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/russian/iss69_patch03-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/russian/iss69_patch03.jpg" width="400" height="267" border="0"></a></center></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>MSS</TD><TD>Here is the no names patch like from the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center web page:<center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/iss69_patch04-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/iss69_patch04.jpg" width="400" height="267"></a></center></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>Russian</TD><TD>This polo was produced by NASA.
