[Rx2021] Mission Patch

[Empey, Kerry McGarr]

Dear P1, P2, and P3 students,

Mission patches have been part of human spaceflight since the days of Project Mercury in the 1960s. We invite you to help design a mission patch that will travel to the International Space Station (ISS) this summer along with two microgravity research experiments designed by student teams from the University of Pittsburgh Schools of Pharmacy and Engineering. On return to Earth, these Mission Patches will have traveled 400,000 miles each day aboard ISS.
 The winning mission patch design will be part of a very unique experience and will also be a symbol of the two student microgravity research experiments and community collaboration. There will be opportunities for publicizing this across various media outlets which will be discussed in more detail. Requirements for the mission patch are outlined below:

  1.  A Mission Patch must be a piece of paper NO LARGER than 3.5-inch x 3.5-inch, and its design should reflect pride in your community, and your participation in the SSEP.
  2.  There is no restriction on the type of paper or the inks to be used. But to fly, it must be paper not card stock or cardboard. Patches submitted on card stock or cardboard will be (and have been) rejected.
  3.  A Mission Patch can be black & white or full color.
  4.  A Mission Patch can only be composed of a single sheet of 3.5-inch x 3.5-inch paper and the ink on the paper.
  5.  A Mission Patch cannot include multiple layers of paper glued or taped on top of one another.
