Apollo 10 Mission Patch
Apollo 10 Mission Patch
The Apollo 10 mission patch was designed by the crew of John Young, Gene Cernan, and Tom Stafford.Apollo 10 was a dress rehearsal for the Apollo 11 Moon landing and the patch depicts the Lunar Module returning from its descent towards the surface, ready to dock with the Apollo Command Module. The large Roman numeral X sits on the surface to symbolise the lasting impact the mission would have, although, importantly, the real Apollo 10 would not touch down on the surface itself.
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.
