The official NASA Mission Patch for the Apollo Program. The SSEP Mission 14 to ISS Apollo payload of experiments is named in honor of the Apollo Program.
The National Center for Earth and Space Science Education, and the Arthur C. Clarke Institute for Space Education, are proud to present the 56 Mission Patches selected for flight to the International Space Station (ISS) for Student Spaceflight Experiments Program (SSEP) Mission 14 to ISS. The selected flight patches shown below resulted from local art and design competitions meant to capture the spirit of SSEP in each Mission 14 community.
The mission patch competitions foster community-wide awareness and engagement in the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program – an initiative that takes students, teachers, and the community at large to the space frontier through immersion in an authentic research experience. The 33 selected Mission 14 microgravity flight experiments from student teams, representing the 32 communities participating in Mission 14, comprise the SSEP Apollo experiments payload, named after NASA’s Apollo Program.
As a historical note, mission patches have been part of human spaceflight since the days of Project Mercury in the 1960s (see, e.g., this page at the NASA History Program Office). The official NASA mission patch for the Apollo Program is shown above. The SSEP Mission Patch competitions therefore allow communities to engage in another authentic aspect of the space program. From an education standpoint, the mission patch component of SSEP forges interdisciplinary connections between STEM fields and art and design, so that SSEP is a true STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) initiative.
Across the 29 of 32 Mission 14 to ISS communities conducting Mission Patch art and design competitions, 23,635 grade K-16 students were engaged, and 21,798 patch designs were submitted. Judges within the communities selected the 56 patches shown below.

Moreno Valley Unified School District’s participation in the SSEP Mission 14 Patch Competition involved 164 middle school students (grades 6-8) and 416 high school students (grades 9-12) with each student submitting a patch design. The “Germination of Alfalfa in Microgravity”, chosen to go to the International Space Station (ISS), influenced many of our student artists as they created a mission patch. This competition involved students in learning about microgravity experiments and the history of creating “mission patches” for capturing the excitement of spaceflight. The judges for this year’s district-level competition were comprised of members of the community, which included local artists, parent ambassadors, district personnel and Moreno Valley College faculty. The judges recognized the effort and artistry each student put into their patch and were pleased to see our community being represented in the 20 final middle school and 20 final high school submissions. The Mission 14 to ISS Patch winners are Analyn L. (middle school) and Karla B. (high school).

The Anne Arundel County, Maryland community held a one-patch Mission Patch Art and Design Competition. The competition was led by Art teachers at the middle schools participating in SSEP Mission 14 to the ISS. 2,110 middle school students were engaged in the Mission Patch project during the first semester of the 2019-2020 school year. Students investigated the significance of Mission Patches and determined how to best represent AACPS community with creative expression and production being addressed during the project. Each school instructed students to work individually, giving each student a chance to design their own patch. School based art teachers led a collaborative review committee to select one patch for submission to the AACPS Community Review Committee.

The Stony Brook School SSEP Mission 14 Mission Patch Contest engaged 240 students in grades 6-8, all of whom also participated in the SSEP contest to send an experiment to the ISS, with each student submitting one mission patch design. The students were given a mini lesson on the importance and meaning of mission patches in spaceflight history, and shown examples. We discussed the elements of design, to include, shape, color, symbolism, words, and things of local significance (like school, town, community, and the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing). Students were given two weeks to complete and submit their design entry, along with a brief summary explaining the meaning behind their design. The winning entry, voted on by the students themselves, represents the Apollo 11 command module re-entering Earth’s atmosphere, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the moon landing mission.
