Original embroidered patch for the flight of SES-9, a geostationary communications satellite operated by SES S.A and contracted by SpaceX, that was launched by a Falcon 9 Full Thrust rocket on March 4, 2016, from the Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. The patch measures 4" x 3.75" and shows the SES-9 satellite orbiting earth, with a small four-leaf clover visible in space. The border reads: "SES-9, 0090, SpaceX, Falcon 9." The number on the patch ("0090") indicates the seniority of the employee to whom it was issued: the lower the number, the more senior the employee. Low numbered patches are extremely hard to find. In very fine condition.
SES-9 is a large communications satellite operating in geostationary orbit at the 108.2° East, providing communications services to Northeast Asia, South Asia and Indonesia, maritime communications for vessels in the Indian Ocean, and mobility beams for 'seamless in-flight connectivity' for domestic Asian airlines of Indonesia and the Philippines.
