The ISS Expedition 30
Patch shows the fully assembled International Space Station to mark the major
milestone of the completion of the assembly of the orbiting complex. Also on
the patch is a sunlit Earth limb with the distinctive portrayal of Earth's surface
illuminated by night-time city lights as a reminder of mankind's presence on
Earth. The entire Planet being depicted is also a symbol for the international
cooperation that is part of the ISS Program. Aboard ISS, research is conducted that
will enable humans to eventually leave the bonds of Earth Orbit and explore
farther places. This is symbolized by the stars in the background. On the edge
of the Patch, the names of the six crewmembers can be read.
