Mission patch
Soyuz TMA-14, launched March 26, 2009, carried two members of Expedition 19 to the International Space Station. Its crew was Gennady Padalka (Roscosmos) and Michael Barratt (NASA). Also on board was a space tourist Charles Simonyi, who was traveling on his second self-funded flight to the space station.
Padalka and Barratt stayed on the ISS throughout Expeditions 19 and 20 and returned to Earth, October 11, 2009. Another space tourist, Guy Laliberte from Canada, returned with them.
Roscosmos and nations' space program invited children from ages 6-15 to design and submit a patch for Soyuz TMA-14. The winner was Anna Chibiskova from Moscow. Her artwork was incorporated into the patch.
