Moonbase Alphan | ISS Expedition 49 mission patchThe International Space Station's (ISS) Expedition 49 begins with the scheduled undocking of Soyuz TMA-20M in September 2016.

hoorenz | It was designed at Johnson Space Center by graphics artist Cindy Bush. |
KSCartist | Cindy did an awesome job! I tried to illustrate an aurora on one of my STS-62A designs in 1985. She did a much better job! |
Panther494 | Very nice indeed. It must be difficult to come up with something original for the designs. This I think succeeds wonderfully. Great color pallette as well. I've just received the ISS 46 revised patch, what a let down. |
Liembo | Rendering the northern lights is a big challenge and she nailed it. Bravo. |
OV-105 | It will look good as a decal but I wonder how much it will lose in the patch with the threads. |
mode1charlie | Nice design! |
Greggy_D | I love the color choice. It is something really different from the norm. |
Russian | I saw already the patch and can state the embroidery is FINE! And for fun Russian cosmonauts called the logo "PENICILYN." |
shoelessman | Here is the embroidered Expedition 49 patch: |
Liembo | If they improved the stitching just a bit on the names I think it would be just right. It looks a little wavey, in the Cyrillic in particular, on this example. The aurora did hold up well in thread. |
