The U.S. Air Force 45th Space Wing is the first to debut an embroidered patch for SpaceX's Crew Dragon Demonstration Mission-1 (DM-1), an uncrewed test flight to the International Space Station. DM-1 will launch atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.  |

Interestingly, the NASA version I've found uses photo images and has differences in the streaks as well. |

It looks like there might be multiple suppliers of the Demo-1 patch (similarly to the first Falcon Heavy patch). There are slight differences between the photo of the patch above and the patch as scanned by the Air Force Space & Missile Museum:  |

The two are identical. The apparent differences are due to lighting and the one that I photographed being slightly bent backwards. Overlaying the two (and mildly warping to accommodate the physical bend) show the stitching lining up perfectly). |

Looks like the Air Force Space & Missile Museum is out of stock already. |

This is interesting, because this patch was a SpaceX design. To date AB Emblem has only produced NASA designs for commercial missions.This could be a one off (as NASA did not design a patch for Demo-1), or perhaps a sign of things to come. |

It has been bought to my attention that AB Emblem have changed the SKU patch design number on their latest production run version of their SpaceX Demo-1 patches. - 424227 A-B Emblem 06/2020 (USA)
- 425326 A-B Emblem Made In USA 0972020 ('7' used instead of '/' error, also has different or error SKU patch design number)
- 424227 A-B Emblem Made In USA 0972020 ('7' used instead of '/' error. '7' is larger font)
- 425326 A-B Emblem Made In USA 02/21 20
- 425326 A-B Emblem Made In USA 03/21 20
I've not seen or had reported any of these patches with July or August date codes on them.Updated on 29th March 2023: Two more production run dates have been found for February and March 2021, both with the error SKU patch design number 425326 on them. |

NASA recently added to its image archive a photo taken in 2014 that shows another Demo-1 patch previously not shown here.The patch, which is variation on the Commercial Crew Program patch, was presented to the U.S. Coast Guard as part of a larger framed display.  |
