Original embroidered patch for SpaceX Crew-1, the first operational crewed flight of a Crew Dragon spacecraft, which was launched by a Falcon 9 Block 5 (B1061.1) rocket on November 16, 2020, from Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39A. The patch measures 4.25" in diameter and shows four astronauts below a GPS navigation satellite, with the astronaut surnames-Walker, Glover, Hopkins, Noguchi-and a small four-leaf clover visible in the fiery tail of the Resilience spacecraft, with text above reading: "SpaceX, Crew-1, NASA." In very fine condition.
Carrying NASA astronauts Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover, and Shannon Walker along with JAXA astronaut Soichi Noguchi, all members of the Expedition 64 crew, Crew-1 was the first operational mission to the International Space Station (ISS) in the Commercial Crew Program. When their capsule splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico on May 2, 2021, it marked the first nighttime splashdown for NASA astronauts since Apollo 8 in 1968. Additionally, on February 7, 2021, the Crew-1 broke the record for the longest spaceflight by a U.S. crewed vehicle, surpassing the 84-day mark set by an Apollo capsule on the final flight to the Skylab (Skylab-4) space station.
Originates from the personal collection of a SpaceX board member.
