Official AB Emblem, 4" fully embroidered patch The Crew 9 mission patch depicts the trail of a rocket launching en route to the International Space Station, which will be home for a long-duration expedition dedicated to service, science, and collaboration. Coastal waves are inspired by the historic Florida launch site, and on a larger scale represent our blue planet, the global ocean connecting all continents. A falcon, with the number nine as its beak and a crescent moon as its eye, is a nod to the Falcon 9 rocket, while the constellation Draco honors the Dragon spacecraft that will take Crew 9 to their destination.
