Expedition 73 Crew Insignia

Approximately  4"

The Expedition 73 patch was designed to honor the science and scientists who make space exploration possible.

The number 73 is a prime number and a binary palindrome and that is represented at the base of the patch. Seventy-three is also a star number represented by the hexagonal shape of the patch, accented by white stars to symbolize the crew's dedication to space exploration.

The grid lines illustrate our earthly perspective from the cosmos. And finally, the ISS, International Space Station, symbolizes humanity's continued collaboration across space and time.
