Robert Pearlman | Soyuz MS-01 mission patchRussia's Soyuz MS-01 will launch to the International Space Station in June 2016. Anatoli Ivanishin of Roscosmos, NASA astronaut Kate Rubins and Takuya Onishi of JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) will join the Expedition 47/48 crew. The Soyuz MS-01 patch introduces the latest modification of the Soyuz spacecraft, in service for nearly 50 years. The ship is shown approaching the International Space Station, ready to deliver a new crew and start another expedition on the orbital facility. The number of the ship is depicted in bold characters to emphasize a new beginning: one that might one day lead to a mission to Mars, the planet subtly hiding behind the zero. The Soyuz MS-01 patch was designed by Jorge Cartes from Spain. © Roscosmos/Spacepatches.nl |
Harald Kraenzel | Jorge: Congratulation on a great design. |
Russian | Similar to the ISS Expedition 48 logo. Really good design!
|
Russian | Could you check please NASA also decided to call MC and not MS this version of Soyuz spaceship. And at list one year ago. |
Robert Pearlman | "MC" is the Cyrillic spelling; "MS" is the English spelling (Latin alphabet). NASA refers to the Soyuz as MS. |
KAPTEC | Thank you very much Harald. |
Russian | I got information Roscosmos will not produce patches, pins and brochures for the Soyuz MC-01 launch. They didn't place order with manufacturers... |
Russian | Finally TsENKI ordered MC-01 (and ISS 49) pins and MC-01 brochures. No patches at all. |
Robert Pearlman | The embroidered patch (via spacepatches.nl): |
Russian | Dear friends! Do you have also the backups patch? Please, share. |
Jacques van Oene | Yes we made that one to: The official Soyuz MS-01 back-up crew patch. |
Ronpur | I received the very beautiful MS-01 patch yesterday from spacepatches.nl. Thank you so much for the quick service again, just in time for the launch. |
Russian | Friends from spacepatches, your 30th patch left for the ISS with MS-01 crew. Congratulations!!! Jorge Kartes, thank you for this great design! But "show must go on!" |
KAPTEC | Thank you! I hope so, but it not depends only on me!
|
Russian | If you go on with your great designs the show will go on! I hope you got your MS-01 flight magazine from Roscosmos. This time they had a small number of them in Baikonur, only for officials from NASA and JAXA. I hope to find one for me in September. |
KAPTEC | Russian: got it! Thank you very much for your words. |
