Apollo 1 Mission Patch
Apollo 1 Mission Patch
This patch was designed for the Apollo 1 mission by the crew members Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffee. It depicts an Apollo spacecraft in orbit around the Earth, with the American flag making up the border of the patch.Along with Grissom and Chaffee, Ed White completed the crew of Apollo 1. Tragically, all three astronauts died in a launch pad test after a fire broke out inside their Apollo spacecraft in January 1967.
This particular patch was part of a collection of patches acquired by British-born professor of endocrine and metabolic surgery Anthony Goode, during his years working with NASA’s Life Sciences Division.
