Fly to Space
Today we introduced a new line of merchandise dedicated to the NS-19 mission on the Blue Origin Shop.
Mission patches have long been a part of human spaceflight stemming from NASA astronauts wearing them on every mission since 1965. They represent the mission and are worn by astronauts and those affiliated with the flight.
The NS-19 mission patch represents several aspects of the flight and crew.
Depicts shows astronauts looking up to the stars as the capsule separates from the booster on the way to space.
6 astronaut faces to represent the first flight with 6 astronauts on board
Each NS—19 astronaut is featured on the patch is drawn to their likeness
Each astronaut is also represented with a star near their name
Cameron and Lane Bess have 2 stars near their name to represent the first parent-child pair to go to space together
The Mercury 7 symbol is next to Laura Shepard Churchley to commemorate her father, Alan Shepard, the first American in space and New Shepard’s namesake
On the base of the crew capsule are the initials GDV, in memory of NS-18 astronaut Glen de Vries
Michael Strahan Brand and Blue Origin have introduced limited edition apparel for sale. The new product comes as Michael Strahan prepares to fly to space as part of the NS-19 mission on December 9.
