mission patch

Crew flight insignia

A mission patch is an embroidered badge designed for a specific military operation, space flight, or similar undertaking.

Crew members wear them on uniforms or flight suits to mark participation: Each Apollo mission had its own patch.

NASA missions, military deployments, and even corporate projects commission distinctive patches as commemorative insignia.
