Expedition 10 Crew Patch

The Expedition 10 patch uses simple symbolism to describe the mission. The large Roman numeral "X," formed by the American and Russian flags, symbolize the joint nature of this mission, as well as the fact that this flight is the 10th mission to stay on the International Space Station.

The current configuration of the Space Station is next to the name of the Station Commander, NASA astronaut Leroy Chiao, while the Soyuz vehicle is placed next to the name of the Soyuz Commander, Russian cosmonaut Salizhan S. Sharipov. The single star and the black background signify this is a space mission.
