The International Space Station Expedition 33 Crew patch shows the Space Station orbiting around the Earth, and into the future. The national flags of the United States of America, Russia and Japan represent the crew of Expedition 33 with crew members coming from these three nations. The five stars featured on the patch represent the partner countries participating in the ISS Program: Canada, Japan, Russia, the US and the European Countries. “Expedition 33 will continue the work of the previous 32 expedition crews on board the multinational laboratory in areas such as biology and biotechnology, earth and space science, educational activities, human research, physical and material sciences, and technology development and demonstration,” NASA said in a statement. The names of the six crew members are featured in their respective languages. In addition to Earth and the five stars, the patch features additional celestial bodies.
