Commemorating TTS-01, 2084-1984
The first mission of the Chrononaut Program
This futuristic 4" patch, exactly like the ones worn by the women and men of the Chrononaut Program, is a high-quality embroidered patch featuring details of metallic and UV reactive thread. As with all mission patches, symbols are present in the design that hold special meaning:
The rainbow element is a recurring one on mission patches from the STS era and throughout the 80’s.
Here, it is a dynamic symbol of light and time, depicting the Time Shuttle’s hypersonic descent before crossing the time barrier!
The rainbow con trail diverges from the American flag, symbolic of the historic mission being an emergent property of American ambition, diversity, and intrepidity
It twists to the left, or "back", to form the infinite ♾ loop, mathematical symbol for Time, while the
silhouette of the Time Shuttle crosses the edge of the silver field, representing the time barrier being broken!
The blue border on this patch is a nod to NASA, with special thanks, and the seven stars honor the original seven astronauts with "The Right Stuff", whose boldness inspired a world.
Celebrate the spirit of adventure and be prepared for takeoff with this awesome badge!
