Patch of the Day: MER-A Marvin the Martian

Mars Exploration Rover-A Spirit was launched on June 10, 2003 and landed on Mars on January 4, 2004 at Columbia Memorial Station. It was operational on Mars for 6 years and 77 days before the Jet Propulsion Laboratory lost contact with the rover on March 22, 2010. The team tried re-establishing contact with Spirit until May 24, 2011 when the mission was determined complete. Her sister Opportunity remained active on Mars for another 8 years

The patch was created by the Air Force and Warner Bros for the rover’s launch team

Depicts Marvin the Martian saluting and standing on a black-colored Martian landscape

Background is the American flag turned vertically 

White stars are scattered throughout the blue and red portions of the flag

Delta II rocket used to launch the rover is shown during ascent to the right of Marvin’s head

Contrail begins at his bottom left and from left to right is white, yellow, and red

On the left is a black oval with “1SLS” in white for the 1st Space Launch Squadron

On the right is “Red Planet Gladiators” in black

Includes official name of rover and names of organizations that worked on the rover in white capital letters against a black border with white outer trim

Three white stars on both sides of the border separate rover name from institution names

Single white stars along the bottom of the border separate organization names from each other

Copyright information in small white capital letters under Marvin

This patch is available on eBay and similar retailers
