Delighted to share with you our Crew-12 mission patch and to shed some light on the symbolism behind its design! We hope you'll love it as much as we do.

"The backdrop of the Crew-12 patch sets the scene of this crew's odyssey through an enchanted forest, where adventure awaits around every corner. The trees, with fresh buds emerging, manifest both the crew's love and respect for nature and their hope and optimism for the future. Bright stars shine in the sky, lighting a path for each crew member, surrounded by smaller stars embodying their offspring.

A mythical dragon breathes fire to fuel the trajectory of the Dragon capsule and set these explorers on their mission to the International Space Station, evoking the delicate balance and connections between living things and the technology that supports them, and the spirit of partnership between NASA and SpaceX.

The flags of the crew member's home nations stand along the curvature of their one home planet, demonstrating the solid foundation and relationships that have supported them throughout their individual and collective journeys.
