STP52 - Designing Mission Patches - with Tim Gagnon

Written By Dave Giles

This week we celebrate the completion of our first year of weekly podcasts by discussing mission patches with Tim Gagnon who has designed us an anniversary patch! Tim has designed patches for flown missions and has also released many fantastic commemorative patches, so as far as we're concerned, he's the perfect person to design our patch and explain how it all works.
