The insignia representing the SpaceX Crew-4 mission to the International Space Station depicts a dragonfly and highlights the crew members Commander Kjell Lindgren, Pilot Robert Hines and Mission Specialists Jessica Watkins and Samantha Cristoforetti. Lindgren, Hines and Watkins are NASA astronauts and Cristoforetti is an ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut. Kjell Lindgren described the meaning behind the patch: "The free-flying Dragon capsule forms the thorax of the central element of the patch, the Dragonfly – a beautiful and agile flyer. For many, the dragonfly represents transformation and good fortune. On its way to the International Space Station, the capsule appears suspended in low Earth orbit with the Earth below and Moon above. Four bright stars represent the four crewmembers’ families and their steadfast patience, love and support. The remaining multitude of stars represent the countless members of the NASA, SpaceX and international partner teams, whose ingenuity, vigilance and tireless work has made this mission possible."
