About the Flown-in-Space Patch:

The patch is made up of two parts; the front and back. The front is made of high-quality fabric with the NASA logo printed directly onto it, this is the part that is flown into space. The rear side is made of a high-quality embroidered base, this part is not flown into space due to NASA's flight weight restrictions, and is added by us post-flight. This means that the front of the patch is flown-in-space, while the embroidered back is not.
