| Thirsk Patch Revealed |
 Canadian Soyuz TMA-15/Exp.21/Exp.22 crew member Bob Thirsk revealed his mission patch - designed by Bill Helin - in Calgary on Tuesday, February 17. An interesting observation: Thirsk, not American Nicole Stott, may return on the Soyuz instead of STS-129. Thirsk: ,,It is still not clear if I will come home on the Shuttle or the Soyuz.''

Spacepatches.nl has produced for Roscosmos the official embroidered
Soyuz TMA-14 patch. Spaceview artist
Luc van den Abeelen helped compose the final design, based on the drawing of Anna Chibiskova (12) from Moscow.
Collectors who are interested in an original Soyuz TMA-14 patch can now pre-order it here. More pictures
of Simonyi's Sokol (taken by S.Simakina of Zvezda) can be seen at the Roscosmos website.

| Charles Simonyi - TMA-14 |
First shown on CollectSpace, this is the personal Soyuz TMA-14 mission logo for Charles Simonyi. Simonyi explained the patch to
Robert Pearlman of Cs.
In the mean time, the European Space Agency has announced that Frank de Winne's mission to the ISS wil be named OasISS.

| Julie Payette - STS-127 |
This patch commemorates Julie Payette's participation in mission STS-127 to the International Space Station. The central element is a magnificent image of the Earth taken from space.
A robotic arm spells out the astronaut's name in electronic circuitry. It not only represents Canadian successes in space robotics but also Julie Payette's duties on this mission.
She will be operating three different robotic arms: Canadarm, Canadarm2 and a Japanese arm.

| ISS Expeditions 21 & 22 |
 The ISS Expedition-21 patch (left) was designed by Frank de Winne's wife Lena ( more about the design of the patch). The Expedition-22 patch (right) was designed by Tim Gagnon and Jorge Cartes. Both patches will be available from AB Emblem. |
