In light of latest info (Soyuz MS-23 launching without a crew and landing with the Soyuz MS-22 crew), I wonder if the Soyuz MS-24 crew patch will be the same design as the earlier MS-23 patch?

According to Roscosmos, the plan as of today is not to cancel (or reassign) any future expedition crews but rather just move each to the right. So the previous crew assigned to Soyuz MS-23 would fly on Soyuz MS-24.

What that means for the patch (or if Soyuz MS-23 will even have a patch) is still to be seen.

This pin was produced for the MS-23 crew but now that MS-23 will go to the ISS without crew as a rescue ship, it is a collector's item:

My friend who was last night in TsUP (Spaceflight Control Centre) for the MS-23 docking to the ISS got this patch from RKK Energia.

The emblem adopts the traditional form of a circle. Its design centers around the illustration of the Soyuz MS-23 uncrewed spacecraft flying toward the International Space Station, which is visible on the right. The Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft is also shown but undocked from the ISS, with Soyuz MS-23 arriving to replace it.

Also included are stylized images of Earth, the moon, stars and the Sun, with the latter's rays symbolizing hope. At the bottom of the emblem, on its border, are the name and serial number of the spacecraft Soyuz MS-23. At the top is the logo of Roscosmos.

When I first saw the patch, I thought the two white bars crossing the outer blue border evoked the image of a life preserver, referencing Soyuz MS-23 being a rescue ship.

Paul, up to now I didn’t find out who produced this patch. RKK Energia told me they wanted produce their own patch (another design).

Roscosmos (press group) confirmed me it was their design. They produced only 20 patches but will order more next week.

Don't think the patch will be available for collectors.

Additionnal batch of 20 MS-23 patches was ordered by Roscosmos (presse-groupe). The patches were received this week.

Don’t exclude they will order MS-22 landing patch.

The patch is already on sale on eBay. Those who were looking for from collectors can find it for their collection. I have already received such a patch in my collection!
