T O P I C R E V I E WTomWas a patch ever designed for the Skylab Rescue Mission (Brand - Lind) that almost took place in August '73? I know a crew photo was released. Thanks.Jacques van OeneAs far as I know there is no patch for that mission, but of course it could be that the crew had a design but never released it because the flight never happened.KSCartistTom, I sent a design to Vance Brand and received a reply from him that he and Don Lind decided not to commit to a patch unless they were going to fly. Where can I see the crew photo? TomTim, the Skylab Rescue Crew photo is number: S73-33159. Or, go to the Apollo Archive, click on "Post Apollo", and tab down to that photo number.James913Tim, I, for one, would be interested in seeing a scan of the unused rescue mission design. Jacques van OeneThe Skylab Rescue patch proposal is now added to spacepatches.nl.KSCartistWhen you see it remember that I was only 16 years old at the time. It's frustrating now but I wasn't too careful in cataloging my work. But Vance Brand was kind in his letter.TomTim, if the crew actually did fly the mission, I'm sure they would have chosen your version as it depicts their mission perfectly. Letter from Brand was nice.
