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
