| ⚫ | A '''mission patch''' is a cloth reproduction of a spaceflight mission emblem worn by [[astronaut]]s and other personnel affiliated with that mission. It is usually executed as an [[embroidered patch]]. The term space patch is mostly applied to an emblem designed for a crewed space mission. Traditionally, the patch is worn on the space suit that astronauts and cosmonauts wear when launched into space. Mission patches have been adopted by the crew and personnel of many other space ventures, public and private. |

This prompted astronaut [[Gordon Cooper]] to propose and develop a mission patch for his and [[Pete Conrad]]'s [[Gemini 5]] flight: an embroidered cloth patch sporting the names of the two crew members, a covered wagon, and the slogan "8 Days or Bust" which referred to the expected mission duration. NASA administrator [[James E. Webb]] approved the design, but insisted on the removal of the slogan from the official version of the patch. The so-called '''Cooper patch''' was worn on the right breast of the astronauts' uniforms below their nameplates and opposite the NASA emblems worn on the left.<ref name=patch1>{{cite web|url=http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-082415a-gemini5-50th-8daysorbust.html |title='8 Days or Bust' +50 years: Gemini 5 made history with first crew mission patch |publisher=collectspace| date=August 24, 2015}}</ref> |

Since Gemini 5, patches have been created for all NASA crewed missions and many uncrewed expeditions. Patches are now created by professional graphic designers, but the design is still directed by each astronaut crew. |
Since Gemini 5, patches have been created for all NASA crewed missions and many uncrewed expeditions. Patches are now created by professional graphic designers, but the design is still directed by each astronaut crew. Enthusiasts have since created patches for crewed NASA missions which preceded Gemini 5; many purists object to these designs on the grounds that these souvenir patches were not created or worn by the astronauts. |

Since Gemini 5, every NASA crewed space mission had its own patch; 8 designs for Gemini, 12 for Apollo, 3 for [[Skylab]], 1 for the [[Apollo-Soyuz Test Project]] (ASTP), 135 for the [[Space Shuttle]] program, and 1 for [[SpaceX]] (NASA Commercial Crew Program). |

On the US side, artist like Jean Bealieu, William Bradley, James Cooper, Victor Craft, Jerry Elmore, Frank Kelly Freas, Barbara Matelski, Robert T. McCall, Jean Pinataro, Emilio Pucci, Gene Rickman, Allen Stevens, Norman Tiller, Walter A. Weber, and Lumen M. Winter took care of patch designs. But also aerospace company artists, astronauts and their family members and NASA graphic department designers came up with patch designs. |

Most early Soviet/Russian patches were designed by artists that remain anonymous. In the 90s, Dmitri Shcherbinin and Alex Panchenko provided designs for Soyuz missions and personal patches. Russian designs for Soyuz TMA-14 through TMA-03M included art done by children, submitted to Roscosmos as part of a competition.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.roscosmos.ru/main.php?id=45 |title= |

Additionally, Johnson Space Center graphic designer Blake Dumesnil has also worked closely with ISS crews on expedition mission patches, Soyuz patches, and personal crew patches, in addition to official NASA commemorative designs for the end of the Space Shuttle Program and the 50th Anniversary of Extravehicular Activities (EVAs). |
