Mission Patch Party

Earth & Space

Time to complete: 45 minutes

Did you know that all NASA teams and missions design their own mission patch? They work together to design a patch (like a logo) that will represent them for the duration of their mission—this includes astronauts working on Human spaceflight missions and teams working on robotic missions with science and exploration goals. Mission patches are created by the group and create a sense of belonging. They incorporate names, designs, mascots and can be a variety of shapes: round, oval, triangular, octagonal, etc.
