Create your own mission badge

Mission patches communicate the goals and objectives of a NASA mission. For nearly 50 years, flight crew and support personnel have continued their tradition of creating a patch. The mission patches pack a great deal of information in a small (three or four inches area.)

This summer, campers at Missouri S&T experienced aeronautics and space flight from  a ground-up perspective. In addition to learning about the history of space exploration and participate in interactive teamwork projects, the campers designed their own team mission badges (see below.)

Continue the tradition by creating a mission badge for your own classroom. Work with your students to set classroom goals for the year, encouraging them to think about what makes your class unique. Email a photo of your mission badge to spacebook@mst.edu and we'll display it here.

Or use the following widget to create your own mission badge right online and email it to spacebook@mst.edu.
