Expedition 17 Mission Insignia Alert

Another Expedition 17 Official Mission Patch

Hi,

Just when patch collectors thought they had this mission sewn up (forgive the pun) with regard to official mission patches, (Please see earlier post) another 3 name variant debuts.

Photo credit: NASA. NASA astronauts Garrett Reisman, STS-124 mission specialist, and Greg Chamitoff, Expedition 17 flight engineer, pose for a portrait following a joint news conference with the STS-124 crewmembers from the Kibo Japanese Pressurized Module of the International Space Station while Space Shuttle Discovery is docked with the station. Reisman, who joined the station's crew in March, is being replaced by Chamitoff, who arrived at the station with the STS-124 crew.

Closeup of the patch worn by Greg Chamitoff below. Will these be commercially available? Watch this blog.


Bye for now,
Patchman.
