I wonder if Nicole Ayers had a hand in this design, given the grid/graph and binary for 73. She has a master's degree in computational and applied mathematics.

I know 1,001,001 is binary for 73, but does it have any other meaning for this flight?
Will it for example be the 1 million and one thousand and first orbit of the ISS during the course of the expedition?

Nothing immediately comes to mind. (With regards to orbits, the ISS has completed approximately 150,000 trips around Earth over the past 25 years.)
