Henry Conrad worked with NASA (using their new logo) and created the first embroidered patch for NASA most commonly known as the “meatball”. Since February 24, 1970 A-B Emblem has been the exclusive supplier to the astronaut’s office and has held the contract ever since. We make every mission and expedition patch that is sold to NASA and that is flown in space. Pre-computer era the commander of the mission would often fly in a T-38 to the Asheville airport and come personally to the factory to help our designers morph their graphics into art, using needle and thread. The commander still gets the honor of designing the mission patch, but with email and digital files, the commander no longer needs to physically fly to Asheville, to get the job done. Private Sector Space. We make emblems for a variety of amazing companies involved in the space exploration industry. Including, but not limited to Boeing Starliner, Virgin Galactic and Space-X.

Human Space Flight Mission Patch Handbook by Various. Human Spaceflight, Mission Analysis and Design. Larson, McQuade and Pranke. Date: 2014, Second Edition. The Human Spaceflight book is focused on applied space system engineering of crewed missions and systems. This process-oriented book is intended to help you conceptually design end-to-end human space missions. Human Spaceflight is essential if you manage, design, or operate systems for human spaceflight. This book provides a much-needed big-picture perspective that can be used by managers, engineers and students to integrate the myriad of elements associated with human spaceflight. With end- to-end coverage of designing human space systems for Earth, Moon, and Mars, Human Spaceflight spotlights key issues and possible problems to consider as part of the design process. Written by a group of 67 professional engineers, managers, and educators from industry, government, and academia, this book shares industry and government best practices as well as lessons learned from decades of experience. Topics include: space and surface environments, human factors, safety, orbits and trajectories, space station design, life support systems, thermal controls, guidance and navigation, power systems, robotics, and so much more. Inkling ebook/ Available on your Mac or PC; Downloadable on iPad, iPhone or Android. Printed book: Page count 1064. 1st edition, Published 2007 / Learning Solutions. Mission Patch Book. The Mission Patch Book is a comprehensive guide to NASA's human space flight mission patches for Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and the Space Shuttle programs. The book features a collection of 168 mission patches printed in full-color. Details are included about each patch design, as well as about the mission itself - including launch and landing dates and times, crew members and payload. This handbook provides a complete reference for the colorful emblems of NASA's manned missions. Mission Patches on Mission 9 to the International Space Station. The National Center for Earth and Space Science Education, and the Arthur C. Clarke Institute for Space Education, are proud to present the 31 Mission Patches selected for flight to the International Space Station (ISS) for Student Spaceflight Experiments Program (SSEP) Mission 9 to ISS. The selected flight patches shown below resulted from local art and design competitions meant to capture the spirit of SSEP in each Mission 9 community. The mission patch competitions foster community-wide awareness and engagement in the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program – an initiative that takes students, teachers, and the community at large to the space frontier through immersion in an authentic research experience. The 21 selected Mission 9 microgravity flight experiments from student teams, representing the 21 communities participating in Mission 9, comprise the SSEP Endeavor experiments payload, named after the Apollo 15 Command Module. As a historical note, mission patches have been part of human spaceflight since the days of Project Mercury in the 1960s (see, e.g. , this page at the NASA History Program Office). The official NASA mission patch for Apollo 15 is shown above. The SSEP Mission Patch competitions therefore allow communities to engage in another authentic aspect of the space program. From an education standpoint, the mission patch component of SSEP forges interdisciplinary connections between STEM fields and art and design, so that SSEP is a true STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) initiative. Across the 19 of 21 Mission 9 to ISS communities conducting Mission Patch art and design competitions, 12,790 grade K-12 students were engaged, and 11,184 patch designs were submitted. Judges within the communities selected the 31 patches shown below. You can also read more about the Mission 9 to ISS Patch Competition at the main SSEP website.
