OSIRIS-REx (upcoming NASA asteroid sample return mission) patches, pins, shirts, hats, etc. can now be found online through the University of Arizona bookstore.

I am curious as to who produced the T-Rex OSIRIS-REx mission patch? It is beautifully done.

There is another OSIRIS-REx patch:

And yet another one which I would call the "Egyptian patch," it is for the Atlas V AV-067 rocket patch that launched the OSIRIS-REx payload.

I am always on the lookout for new and interesting emblems! I am curious to know who manufactured that one as well.

The T-Rex design was created by a family member of an OSIRIS-REx team member. According to principal investigator Dante Lauretta, they refer to it as the "fan art" emblem.

There is also a slightly smaller (3.5-inch diameter), less detailed, lighter blue version of the "fan art" patch. I believe this was a first generation to the 4-inch version being sold now.

The Egyptian patch to me looks like a play on the Jurassic Park emblem.

I am not familiar with the one above, but three more related patches that were produced for team members. To start, a woven version of a design shown earlier:

A patch produced for the spacecraft's departure from Bennu on May 10, 2021:

And a patch for the camera suite on the spacecraft:

Looks like there is another one with a black border as well.

Logos were also made for OVIRS and REXIS that were on the shipping containers, etc. but I'm not sure if they had a patch made like OCAMS.

My guess if the Utah patch is authentic perhaps it was for a team at the test range.

I don't know if there were other patches, but this photo (Credit: NASA/Keegan Barber) of members of the Kennedy Space Center Flight Operations team shows a pilot wearing the "fan art" emblem while accompanying the sample return capsule back to the clean room.

Today I had a chance to catch up with a colleague who covered the landing from Utah. This patch and a decal with the same design were given out at the press site.

The decal has a description of the mission on its back and points to both the NASA and University of Arizona websites for more information about the mission.

Another patch for SCIFLI:
The Scientifically Calibrated In-Flight Imagery (SCIFLI) team at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, collects real-time visual, infrared, and spectral data on vehicles while they are in flight.

Wow, love all the obscure patches (I'd happily trade one of the new sample return patches for the 'Egyptian' patch, or number 7, 14, 15, 16 or 17...) Any takers?
