Space Mission Pins… Vehicles Only!

Our last mission pin campaign featured two standout "vehicle-only" pins — the Apollo LEM and Vostok capsule. They were our favorites, and now we're bringing more!

There's something about holding just the spacecraft itself, no text, no mission badge framing, just the vehicle in all its weird, iconic glory. When they came back from production I kept picking them up. Wearing them. Showing them off. And I wasn't alone — the LEM in particular has been a consistent seller.

We're starting with seven designs — two reprints and five new ones:

Reprints:
• Apollo Lunar Excursion Module (LEM)
  
• Vostok 1

  New Designs:

• Artemis Orion Capsule
  
• Hubble Space Telescope
  
• Perseverance rover (Curiosity and Perseverance are nearly identical — same love, one pin)
  
• Voyager (1 or 2 — same situation)
  
• Cassini

These are all hard enamel with silver or appropriately matched line work, consistent with the previous series. They're designed around a 1.5" feel — though some run a bit longer due to their booms (looking at you, Voyager and Cassini) — but as a set they'll read as the same scale. Each pin comes on a card back in a bag, ready to gift or collect.

Retail will be $8 each. Campaign backers get them at a discount.
