Are the Apollo mission patches both the approved ones and the rejected ones in the public domain? Could they be published in a magazine without concern for copyright infringements? |

NASA's statement regarding all of its missions emblems is as follows: Their reproduction in any form other than in news, information and education media is not authorized without approval. So long as the magazine's use of the official emblems is for news or information purposes, then the emblems can be reproduced without further NASA permission.Any draft art remains the copyright of the artist and permission should be obtained (outside of what falls under fair use). |
