ALT The Crew-11 mission patch symbolizes teamwork, exploration, and deep connections across nations, agencies, and families. The colors white, red, and blue honor the flags of the crew's nations, while three gold stars represent the unity of their space agencies. Two sunbeams forming the number "11" illuminate a blue circle, nodding to Voyager’s Pale Blue Dot image and our shared home. The dragon's eye reflects Earth, emphasizing exploration and perspective from space. The dragon, reminiscent of family crests, stands as a mission guardian. Stars honor the crew's children, inspiring future generations. A red flame encircles the patch, symbolizing launch power, reentry plasma, and the full journey—departure, work aboard the ISS, and safe return. Crew-11: Together, we rise.
