I just read that there are sometimes patches for the "Glory Trip" Minuteman launches from Vandenberg AFB. The latest was for Glory Trip 193 which launched on Feb. 7, 2007.

Does anyone know about these? Is there a web location to see them? I tried to do an image search but didn't find any hits.

I know this is a really old thread but I couldn't resist.

Not all launches had patches. Some had designs that were given a firm "no go" as too politically incorrect. Others just didn't get made because the crew didn't bother.

I designed one for a Peacekeeper launch in 1990 which I wasn't shocked when it was turned down. Only four of these were ever made and the patch people screwed it up by leaving the sky white:

I sent you an email with the ones I have, perhaps those pics will help. They are for trade by the way.
