T O P I C R E V I E WRobert PearlmanNASA's insignia for SpaceX's Crew-13 mission to the International Space Station.The depiction of the dragon, its tail as a trajectory around Earth and the style of the sun appear to be design nods to the Apollo 13 patch.TomAlso, like Apollo 13, no crew names.Robert PearlmanTrue, though that may be because the crew has yet to be announced. A version with names could come later.KAPTECIn my humble opinion, the most beautiful one so far.Jacques van OeneSo thy will not fly on Starliner then...Robert PearlmanAs I understand it, SpaceX Crew-13 remains SpaceX Crew-13, regardless if Starliner-1 flies with or without a crew. The numbering is vehicle specific, not program wide. I guess we will see.issman1I understand that the original NASA pilot and Canadian Space Agency mission specialist of Starliner-1 were both moved onto Crew-13.They were recently photographed in Star City with a female NASA astronaut, plus Roscosmos crewman, in preparation for launch on Falcon 9 this autumn.MSSHere is a patch description: NASA’s SpaceX Crew-13 patch looks ardently toward the future of space exploration while honoring the legacy of those who came before. The central golden dragon harkens back to Apollo 13, embodying resilience and gazing upward to the dawn of a new era of discovery. The tail contours around Earth in an embrace, highlighting the interconnected nature of human spaceflight and celebrating the collective efforts of the teams who make it possible. The wings, outstretched to form a bridge between Earth, the International Space Station, the Moon, and Mars, reflect the continuity between low Earth orbit and destinations to come. Gold stars burn brightly, representing the crew’s families and support systems as a tribute to their immense contributions to this endeavor. All of these themes are unified within a distinctive capsule silhouette, symbolizing the limitless possibilities born out of human collaboration toward a common goal.TomAlso, it's been reported that Crew-13 is now scheduled to launch NET mid-September...over a month earlier than previously planned.
