The Mission Patch:
The 46 icon in the foreground of the patch represents the forty-sixth expedition
on the International Space Station. Earth is depicted at the top with the flags of
the countries of origin of the crew members: the United States, Russia and the
United Kingdom. The Union flag of the UK is displayed in a position of prominence
in recognition of the significance of the first British ESA (European Space Agency)
astronaut to fly in space. The outer border is in the shape of a triangle with an
unbroken border, symbolizing the infinite journey of discovery for past, present
and future space explorers. The names of the six Expedition 46 astronauts and
cosmonauts are shown in the border.
