As seen on Ron Garan's Twitter: first glimpse of the Expedition 27 patch. This is the simplified shirt version.  |

What would be the significance to the five stars in the left part of the patch? Why is one smaller than the rest? |

It is the Crux (Southern Cross). First time ever in a patch. Tim could answer you why one of the two golden stars is bigger than the other...  |

It's the Southern Cross constellation as it appears in the sky - four major stars and one small one. It was Jorge's idea so he gets the credit for the suggestion.CDR Kondratyev liked the idea of a southern hemisphere constellation as opposed to "Orion" or the "Big Dipper" which have been depicted a number of times. The white stars represent the two three-person Soyuz crews and the two gold stars represent the artists. A signature we've used more than once. |

Am liking this patch, the red border with the black interior works well and the station itself looks very impressive. Putting the 'International Space Station' in gold letters is also a nice touch. Probably the best space station patch yet. Oh and including the Southern Cross is inspired, Go Aussie! |
