Mission patch

Alright kiddo, let me explain what a mission patch is in a way you can understand!

When you go on a big adventure like space, you want to remember it and show other people what you accomplished. Just like you might make a scrapbook or draw a picture of your trip, astronauts and space teams make something called a mission patch.

A mission patch is like a special picture that represents a specific space mission. It usually has cool pictures and colors on it that show things like the name of the mission, the date it happened, and even the names of the people who were part of the mission.

Every mission patch is unique and tells a story about the adventure it represents. It's like the story of the trip without using any words! People wear the patches on their uniforms or put them on display to show others what they did and what they are proud of.

So just like you might show your friends a picture of your trip to Disney World, astronauts and space teams show off their mission patches to remember and celebrate the big adventure they went on.
