 Patches are now created by professional graphic designers, but the design is still directed by each astronaut crew.Enthusiasts have since created patches for manned NASA missions which preceded Gemini 5; many purists object to these designs on the grounds that these souvenir patches were not created or worn by the astronauts.Since Gemini 5, every NASA manned space mission had its own patch; 8 designs for Gemini, 12 for Apollo, 3 for Skylab, 1 for the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP), 135 for the Space Shuttle program, and 1 for Space X (NASA Commercial Crew Program).
