What is a mission patch?

demure  ·  637 days ago  ·  link  ·  

here's a representative sample:

In my case, a satellite mission patch (image / physical embroidered patch / stickers / etc), representing a particular satellite mission that I've worked on / flown.

Got it. That would be akin to jinxing the mission by celebrating it too soon. Makes sense to me.
