Author	Topic: Robbins medals: Revised reverse style (2016)
Robert Pearlman Editor Posts: 42981 From: Houston, TX Registered: Nov 1999	posted 06-29-2016 11:18 AM A collectSPACE reader shared these images of the Robbins medals for Expedition 43 and 44 on the International Space Station. The front of each medal still reproduces the crew's insignia in relief, but the reverse does away with the dates for launch and landing as traditionally etched postflight in favor of an engraved month/year format.

pokey Member Posts: 361 From: Houston, TX, USA Registered: Aug 2000	posted 06-30-2016 11:29 AM I sent the photos to Robert. They are not flown. The medals were in transit to their actual owner when I saw them. All photos I have seen over the years on collectSPACE of these medals, they always had engraved dates. Now they are part of the mold. Is this new? Does anyone have an Expedition 42 medal photo that they want to share?
