Just wondered which manned spaceflight patch design themes were your particular favourites?

I have a frame with the five ship-themed ones in:

  • Apollo 12
  • STS-30
  • STS-41D
  • STS-49 and
  • STS-122.
I don't think there are any more with this theme?

My advice: keep some space free in your frame.

Great idea. Another intriguing set would be the patches incorporating an eagle. Quite a few out there. I'd say Bald Eagle, but I'm not sure about 51G.

My favorite flight patches are always those we can never get hold on. Such as the unmanned Hayabusa return patch of June 2010.

My favorite is the STS-96 patch because of how the Canadian flag is woven into the design.

Themed shuttle patches could include the 25 (maybe 26 or 24 according to your definition) patches including a national flag other than the US.

Or, the six depicting an astronaut in the design.

I like the Tim Gagnon and Jorge Cartes Collection. How about a print of all their handiwork in which they played a big part or even a small part?

Thanks Bryan but I hope we're not done yet.

Maybe next year we can do a Shuttle Patch set.

When you made your list, are you referring to flights by Endeavour? If so you may want to switch Apollo 15 for Apollo 8.

I just liked a few of those patches, that's all.
