Description of patch:
Building on the legacy of Mercury, Gemini,
Apollo, Skylab, Shuttle, MIR, International Space Station (ISS), and the DM-2
mission, the men and women of NASA and SpaceX have returned human space flight
launches to the United States. Crew-1 marks the beginning of sustained
government-commercial partnership missions to the ISS, and its Crew Dragon
spacecraft is the focus of the patch.
The spacecraft, composed of the capsule
and trunk, is flying from the bottom left toward the upper right, representing
ascent and insertion to orbital flight. The Crew Dragon is superimposed on a
background of stars and completes the outline of a dragon's head.
The
letter C borders the patch, which together with the number 1 in the foreground
represent the mission, Crew-1. Shadows of the legacy human spaceflight launch
programs are on the border to honor and recognize their contributions to the
Crew Dragon capsule. The outline of the ISS is also on the border to acknowledge
Crew Dragon’s destination and its contribution to maintaining a human presence
in low earth orbit for the United States and our international partners.
There are no individual names or flags on the border because the patch honors
not just the crew members on board, but all of the countless SpaceX and NASA
personnel that worked together to make a sleek and elegant Crew Dragon
spacecraft. This patch honors their vision, service, and support.
We
dedicate this patch to our families!
