[b]ISS Expedition 34 mission patch[/b] The International Space Station's (ISS) Expedition 34 begins with the scheduled undocking of Soyuz TMA-05M in November 2012. Three new crew members will arrive shortly thereafter on Soyuz TMA-07M. Credit: Kevin Ford/NASA Expedition 34 will be commanded by NASA astronaut Kevin Ford. His crew members, all flight engineers, include: Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Novitskiy, Evgeny Tarelkin and Roman Romanenko, NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Chris Hadfield. The outer border of the Expedition 34 patch takes the moldline of a crew transfer or generic resupply vehicle which will form the crew's bridge to the orbiting outpost throughout the second half of its operational lifetime. Inscribed inside in gold is a craft symbolizing future extra-terrestrial landers that will someday open other celestial destinations to human exploration. The Sun, which enables the miracle of the only known life in our universe, radiates above the rich and colorful orb of Earth. Its 15 rays represent the countries of the ISS partnership whose foresight and sacrifice have enabled the first small steps into the universe. The International Space Station in flight represents the dedication, ingenuity, and cooperation amongst the thousands and thousands of workers around the globe who have successfully designed and built a wonder of our modern world. The distant stars, like those visible in the night sky, beckon us to come further into the depths of space. "Off the Earth... For the Earth" – The crew's acknowledgement of the responsibility and commitment to work diligently for all inhabitants of Planet Earth. The ISS Expedition 34 insignia was designed by artists Tim Gagnon and Jorge Cartes.

NavySpaceFanAnother winner from Tim and Jorge!!!!Mike ZI agree this is another great patch by Tim and Jorge. I love the orange-red!! It's a different color than most. I love it that each patches now are unique from the others.Congratulations guys on another wonderful patch!!!Hart SastrowardoyoI like it. Granted, I haven't had any caffeine today (and it's 17.39 local), but I see the silhouette of the shuttle in the sun (the white area is a heads-on representation of the wings and OMS pods, with the gold ray on top its tail.) And the gold-bordered blue triangle-shape reminds me of the Eiffel Tower.I really need to get some dinner.hoorenzCongratulations Jorge and Tim! When I saw the design for the first time, I immediately placed an image of a shuttle over the Sun, to check if it was intended to look that way. But I found out it does not match... One question (I did not notice it earlier): why are the names of the crew in this order (with TMA-06M and 07M mixed?)OV-105 quote:Originally posted by Hart Sastrowardoyo:I see the silhouette of the shuttle in the sun I see it too, from STS-29 or STS-38.KSCartistThank you all for the kind words. To answer some of the questions:There was no intention to place a shuttle tribute in the Sun. But I see what you mean.The names are arranged this way for two reasons: it provides better balance of characters and Kevin Ford wanted it to be viewed as one Expedition crew as opposed to two Soyuz crews.This is essentially Kevin's idea. Jorge and I made suggestions and the entire crew provided input. A team effort to be sure. Jorge and I were just happy to be asked.TomTim and Jorge... congratulations on an outstanding crew patch! Great design and color scheme.J BlackburnAnother great patch guys. I love the symbolism.KAPTECLike Tim said some answers before, thank you all, guys, for these very kind words. It has been really a pleasure to work along with Kevin and his crewmates. Since long time ago we liked too much the idea of sharing names to get a whole Expedition crew and all of us were totally agree. Thank you Mr. Ford.East-FrisianAnother good one. dogcrew5369My first thought when viewing this patch was STS-34...for just a couple seconds. I really like that the names are on the patch. Wonder why there was never a nameless shuttle patch? SparkR_13Excellent work from excellent artists, what more could one expect. Bravo! Thank you for continuing to make one of the primary reasons why we collect them so much. Cause they look sooooo good!! An historical marker that bedazzles the eyes. Robert PearlmanAB Emblem's ISS Expedition 34 embroidered patch:buckeyecalThis turned out to be a beauty being embroidered!! Great job you two...AGAIN!!!!GilbertVery nice.
