Launch of the CRS-2 (SpX-2) mission is scheduled from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.  |

Does this mean the manned flights will have two patches as well? |

The one above comes from a lucky guy working within the Dutch space sector. His boss gave him the patch that was presented to him while in contact with SpaceX, so this definitely is an original. |

Very cool indeed. I think it's safe to say that's a rare patch! |

Received patch SPX-2 today. It has a date code of: 04/23 01 MADE IN CHINA.This patch is 4 inch diameter and very nicely made. It varies a little from a version I picked up a few years ago. The ISS is larger, the Sun's outer white thread has a bold border, and where the right solar array is attached to Dragon the thread is gray with a black border. The overall stitching is better quality. |
