Description: Official crew Patch of Expedition 50 on the International Space Station. The Expedition 50 patch encompasses the spirit of human exploration from previous missions to the moon to current exploration on the International Space Station (ISS). The red border symbolizes future human exploration of Mars – the Red Planet. Our home planet Earth is prominent in the patch to remind us that everything done on the mission is to help people on Earth – “Off the Earth, For the Earth.” The background colors of red, white, and blue represent the national colors of all six crew members – United States, Russia, and France. The six stars represent the families of all six crewmembers. Finally, the numeral 50 signifies the 50th Expedition to the ISS.
