ISS Expedition 19 insigniaIn March 2009, Expedition 19 commander Gennady Padalka and flight engineer Michael Barratt will launch to the International Space Station. Nicole Stott will then join them in August, arriving with the STS-128 shuttle crew to replace Tim Kopra.  In May, cosmonaut Roman Romanenko will launch on Soyuz TMA-15 with European Space Agency astronaut Frank De Winne of Belgium and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Robert Thirsk. Their arrival will expand the station's crew size to six for the first time. Expedition 19 will include visits by two space shuttle missions that will equip the station with the additional facilities needed to support a six-person crew. The increment will also prepare the ISS for the later arrival of Russian research modules and additional docking ports. |

Reminds me a little of the Kelly Freas Skylab art. |

I wonder if the artist is Russian. If you've seen samples of Soviet/Russian space art, some of it is rather abstract compared to the more detailed space art we may be used to in the West. |

The crew liked it. The artist (who has a great future) is now a part of space program history forever. |

An observation: in this patch, the Earth, basic shape of the Sun, the ISS and the lettering all share a very distinguished style. Then, there are these perfectly rounded stars, all exactly the same size, the perfect circular shape of the patch itself, the perfectly arced script and the extremely clean, straight rays appearing from behind the Sun. I have noticed that this mixture of styles (usually it manifests itself in a slightly different way: with certain elements pictured extremely detailed as in a photograph, the other elements more stylized) is something seen pretty often in modern day patches. |

This is not a patch, but directly embroidered onto the polos. Probably not such sophisticated equipment and thus less detail and colors possible? |

That is the "crew version" of the insignia. For their crew apparel, ISS and shuttle crews typically use a simplified version of their mission patch. |

Could anyone tell me why my Expedition 19 patch I purchased is 5" in diameter when all other round ISS patches are the usual 4"? Why the shift to a larger size with this patch? Just curious. |

Don't fret, that's the size it's supposed to be. It's closer to 5 inches — about 4.5 I think. It could be that it needed to be a little larger so that all of the cloud detail could be more easily embroidered. But that's only a thought. Does anyone else know anything more definitive? |

I learned today that the artist behind the ISS Expedition 19 insignia was Olivia Huynh. She worked with astronaut Michael Barratt.In 2008, when the patch was designed, Olivia was a senior in high school. Since then, she attended the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), where she graduated Summa Cum Laude. Her senior project, "Borrowed Light," was featured by Adobe on Facebook and at the Animation Block Party in New York. |

Ah, finally! I remember we both heard the name at the time, but were unable to confirm it. |
