Author	Topic: ESA 2022 reserve astronauts 'Chameleons' patch
dcfowler1 Member Posts: 177 From: Eugene, OR Registered: May 2006	posted 04-24-2026 09:54 AM This appears to be the patch of the 2022 European Space Agency (ESA) reserve astronauts, apparently named "The Chameleons," as recently seen on Aleš Svoboda's flight suit. The 12 members of the astronaut reserve are also part of the 2022 ESA astronaut class "The Hoppers," and are standing ready for when a flight opportunity arises.

This seems to be the patch created by the reserves to represent themselves, the Chameleons.
