Beyond Mission Patch

The embroidered Beyond Mission Patch commemorates ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano’s 2019 mission to the ISS and symbolises humanity’s journey into deep space. Reflected in the visor of an astronaut’s helmet are Earth and the ISS – our current frontier. The Moon, with the Orion spacecraft and exploratory rovers, signals our next steps, while Mars, represents our future ambitions. A powerful emblem of exploration and ESA’s commitment to go beyond.
