Roscosmos NEW blue 'landscape' official embroidered patch


The patch measures approx. 10cm x 6.5cm.

This is a new generic Roscosmos logo. It will gradually replace the blue (portrait style) rectangular patch currently in use.

This is an official release from the original supply source.


The two pairs of three stars symbolize the ISS crews flown to and from the International Space Station by the Russian Soyuz vehicles.


The patch can be seen on the training suit of Cosmonaut Andrey Borisenko (right).

Not space patches but very nice space shuttle medallions

We are currently selling some very nice Space Shuttle medallions:


NASA's Space Shuttle Program Medallion (with space flown metal)



NASA has commissioned two commemorative medals, each minted using flown-in-space metal, to recognize the end of its 30-year space shuttle program.

The NASA Award Medallion (1.75" diameter) is "in recognition of all who played a vital role in supporting the shuttle program." In addition, this limited edition medallion celebrates the program's 135 missions during 30 years of innovation and service.


Metal ingots produced for this program were flown on a space shuttle mission and then included in the production stage so that each medallion would contain flown material.

On the reverse, a space shuttle launch is rendered dimensionally in antique silver. The award medallion was designed by NASA artist Sean Collins.


The Mission Complete Medallion (1.75" diameter) "commemorates the completion of NASA's shuttle program." In addition, this limited edition medallion celebrates the exceptional accomplishments and missions of the first winged orbital spacecraft.

Minted with the same shuttle-flown ingots included in the NASA Award Medallions, this medallion features a dimensionally rendered reverse showing the space shuttle at work through a launch, on-orbit operations and landing.

These medallions, designed by Andy Boston of Winco with additional artwork provided by Dumesnil, are plated in antique bronze.
