Challenge 2
Design a mission patch
Due 8 March 2024
Design a mission patch for Powerhouse-1 that has a maximum diameter of 75mm.
Ensure you include what our mission is about, the schools involved and the mission name.
SUBMISSION FORMAT
Your design needs a graphic accompanied by a 250 word explanation. Each school will receive a poster of all the patches to keep as memorabilia. The Powerhouse design team will further enhance the selected design before the patch is created for Powerhouse-1.
Resources
A mission patch serves as a representation of a team, embodying symbols, values, and ideas associated with the mission. It effectively communicates the importance and historical context of the mission. Powerhouse-1 will need an identification for the astronauts when it travels to the ISS. Each experiment is barcoded, but this need for identification also provides astronauts an easy way to verify payloads and a wonderful opportunity to create a mission identity.
Watch this 3 minute video from the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum for inspiration.
