Summary

Description
English: The Expedition 27 patch depicts the International Space Station (ISS) prominently orbiting Earth, continuing its mission for science, technology and education. The ISS is an ever-present reminder of the cooperation between the United States, Russia, Japan, Canada, and the European Space Agency (ESA) – and of the scientific, technical, and cultural achievements that have resulted from that unique teamwork. The ISS is shown in its completed status with the latest addition of the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), and with two resupply vehicles docked at each end of the station. The Southern Cross Constellation is also show in the foreground and its five stars, along with the sun, symbolize the six international crew members that live and work on the space station. The Southern Cross is one of the smallest modern constellations, and also one of the most distinctive. It has cultural significance all over the world and inspires teams to push the boundaries of their worlds, both in space and on the ground.
Deutsch: Das Expedition 27 Emblem stellt die Internationale Raumstation (ISS) dar, die herausgestellt die Erde umkreist, ihre Mission für Wissenschaft, Technologie und Bildung fortsetzend. Die ISS ist eine immerwährende Erinnerung an die Kooperation zwischen den Vereinigten Staaten, Russland, Japan, Kanada und der Europäischen Weltraumagentur (ESA) – und an die wissenschaftlichen, technischen und kulturellen Leistungen, die aus dieser einzigartigen Zusammenarbeit resultieren. Die ISS wird in ihrem fertigen Zustand mit dem letzten Zusatz Alpha Magnetspektrometer gezeigt, sowie mit zwei Versorgungsfahrzeugen, die an jedem Ende der Station angedockt sind. Im Vordergrund wird auch das Sternbild Kreuz des Südens gezeigt und dessen fünf Sterne, zusammen mit der Sonne, symbolisieren die internationalen Crewmitglieder, die auf der Raumstation leben und arbeiten. Das Kreuz des Südens ist eines der kleinsten modernen Sternbilder und außerdem eines der auffälligsten. Es hat kulturelle Bedeutung auf der ganzen Welt und inspiriert Menschen, die Grenzen ihrer Welten zu verschieben, ganz gleich ob im Weltraum oder auf dem Boden.
