Skylab RESCUE - 4.5" -
Tim Gagnon - ORIGINAL - AB Emblem - NASA SPACE PATCH
After attending the launch of Apollo 17 in 1972 and seeing the patch created by Robert McCall, I knew I wanted to contribute in that way.
The Skylab mission patches had already been designed but during the second increment a leak developed in the RCS of the Service Module, requiring the preparation of a rescue.
This was the very first mission patch I designed and submitted to Vance Brand. He saved my original drawings all these years and returned them to me last September for my birthday. And I am glad I was able to create this 4 1/2" fully embroidered emblem.
Paying tribute to the three crewed missions I wanted to clear up the confusion about the mission designation numbers. The original mission patches were numbered 1,2 and 3 while the official NASA designation numbered the launches including the lab itself as 1, 2, 3 and 4. I included both. As with my Apollo Set I wanted to depict the mission patch images as realistic and design a “spirit” patch that captured the essence of each mission. I am honored that before his death Alan Bean consulted on the Skylab II/3 patches.
