The American Crew Patch: This patch took a symbolic approach and was designed by artist Jean Pinataro.
Three energetic red, white, and blue birds, addressing the American space travelers, take off wonderfully over a definite lunar scene. These birds represent the American group, however the soul of investigation and collaboration that characterized the mission. The ultimate objective, traveling to the Moon, is hinted at by the lunar landscape, particularly the Hadley Rille in the Apennines. The Roman numeral “XV,” showed conspicuously, connotes the one of a kind sort of this joint mission, separate from the customary Apollo numbering.
The Authority ASTP Fix: This official fix, picked by both NASA and Soviet authorities, included a more strict portrayal of the coordinated effort. Separated into equal parts, the fix displayed an American bald eagle roosted on a striped safeguard on the lunar surface on one side. The opposite side showed the Soviet sledge and sickle token against a brilliant setting. The most striking aspect was the handshake between the cosmonaut’s tool and the eagle’s claw, which represented the historic union of the two superpowers.
