The 211 at the base of the patch is the serial number of the new Cargo Dragon spacecraft flying on this mission.

The two gold ISS Roll-Out Solar Arrays (iROSA) are among the CRS-26 payloads. The mouse icon to the left of the space station is likely a reference to the ongoing Rodent Research Facility.

As to what the apple, lightbulb, question mark, gear/wrench and treble clef are representing is still to be seen.
