Its layout is deliberately symmetrical, so the eye settles on the core of the badge before moving outward to the supporting marks. The mission designation \u003cem\u003eMS-04\u003c\/em\u003e is the text that anchors the composition, identifying this flight among the numbered Soyuz missions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMission patches like this one were designed by and for the crews who flew them. They served as a compact record of who was aboard and which flight they belonged to, and they were often given away to colleagues, families and support teams. The Soyuz MS-04 crew launched in June 2018 and spent months on the International Space Station, so the badge stands for a specific stretch of work in orbit as much as for the spacecraft itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for the Morning Mug\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is held close and turned slowly in the hand, so the design wraps around the curve and is read a little at a time as you move it. Here the artwork does something a flat print cannot. The emblem stays faint while the mug is cold and only comes forward once a hot drink is poured in, so each morning's first coffee brings the mission back into view. It makes a cheeky, slightly magical gift for anyone who has ever followed a launch, and it turns an ordinary daily ritual into a small moment of spaceflight history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"Default Title \/ 11oz","offer_id":48534761177368,"sku":"17093329070550125794","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/598036134700408765_2048.jpg?v=1770495715","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/soyuz-ms-04-soyuz-programme-color-changing-mug-11oz","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
