Ordering Multiple Patches

 

If you order multiple items, I will combine the items and refund extra shipping when I receive your order. I am working on a better solution. Thank you!

 

SpaceX "Flag Captured" Commemorative Patch

Retrorocket Emblem's commemorates the flag that was captured and returned to earth by the SpaceX DM-2 crew. The flag was specifically left on the International Space Station by the STS-135 crew to be retrieved by the next crewed flight that originated from the USA. Nine years later it was retrieved and brought home by the DM-2 crew. The flag was also carried on the first space shuttle flight. 
This patch celebrates the milestone. 
 

Crew Dragon DM-2 Flight Suit Patches

 
Exclusive set from Retrorocket Emblems, these patches reproduce the NASA "worm", NASA "meatball" and flag of the USA as worn on the SpaceX flight suits the DM-2 crew wore to the International Space Station. These patches are produced in PVC, TPU and Silk and are affixed to a 8x10 presentation for display. 
 
 

SpaceX Crew Dragon Endeavour / Demo 2 patch

This patch was produced as a bonus patch for the SpaceX Flight Suit patch set Kickstarter, but I am making it available to collectors. The patch celebrates the lineage of the "Endeavour" vessel name from Captain Cook to SpaceX. I wanted to produce it as soon as Elon Musk stated the name was "Dragonship Endeavor" [sic] when the name was revealed.  This is a 5" patch!

 

 

Artemis Woman on the Moon patch

The space agency on Wednesday (Oct. 23, 2019) revealed new artwork symbolizing its Artemis program to send the first humans to the moon since the Apollo astronauts 50 years ago. In Greek mythology, the goddess of the moon, Artemis, was the twin sister of Apollo. - collectSpace
 
This patch uses a photo of the moon I took myself and uses a three step process to produce with an initial layer of embroidery for the moon texture, the dye-sublimation print of the moon over the texter and a final white embroidery layer depicting the woman's stylized profile. 
 

 

Enos Commemorative Patch

Enos was the second chimpanzee launched into space by NASA. He was the first chimpanzee, and third hominid after cosmonauts Yuri Gagarin and Gherman Titov, to achieve Earth orbit. Enos's flight occurred on November 29, 1961. This is a patch commemorating his spaceflight. It is 4" wide. 

 

Gemini 5 Crew Souvenir Replica

Retrorocket Emblems is excited to release the Gemini 5 "Crew Souvenir" replica patch. This is the first time this style of patch has been made as a replica. Patch is 4" in diameter. 

 

 

Mercury Spacecraft Art Patches

Project Mercury was NASA first major project toward putting an American on the moon. Seven astronauts were selected to undergo these missions to evaluate how human's performed in space. 
 
Each of the mercury spacecraft was adorned with unique artwork of various styling reflecting the astronaut's chosen name for their spacecraft. While some of the artwork was simple lettering, the more flourished artwork was painted by artist Cece Bibby. 
 
The "official" Mercury patches that have been in circulation for decades are a notoriously lackluster series of patches. Eventually a set of simple, round patches were produced that more faithfully reproduced the spacecraft's respective artwork, but this set is hard to find and has been out of production for a long time. 
 
Originally I had planned to augment that set with just two designs: "Delta 7" and "Freedom 7 II" fantasy patches for two missions that never came to be. While Deke Slayton's "Delta 7" artwork is purely fantasy, Shepard's second flight actually has artwork on the capsule at the National Air and Space Museum. 
 
To differentiate these patches from the other sets, I have designed to them to appear as they did on the corrugated metal skin of the spacecraft.   
 
 

SpaceX First Crew Dragon Splashdown Commemorative

Another milestone in the crewed Dragon capsule program was a successful splashdown at sea after docking and undocking from the ISS.

SpaceX Starhopper Commemorative

On August 27, 2019, SpaceX flew its ungainly "Starhopper" test vehicle on a 150M flight at its Boca Chica Texas facilities. The squatty appearance of the vehicle gave it many nicknames including the "Flying Water Tower". The successful test of the Raptor engine means the continuation of the Starship program for SpaceX. 

 

 

6" Dyna Soar Project Patch

The original patch was spotted as part of the historic Armstrong family collectible auctions in 2019. Previous Dyna Soar project patches have been produced but the auction listing for Neil Armstrongs patch revealed the detail of the patch which allowed me to create this high-fidelity replica. Limited to 50 patches.
