Future value in a Design History

Reading Benjy Stanton’s notes on working in the open https://www.benjystanton.co.uk/blog/govcamp-cymru-2025-working-in-the-open/ reminded me of design histories so now rewatching Paul Robert Lloyd’s UX London’s talk https://vimeo.com/841887944. I’m thinking this might be a potential solution for a challenge in my team. #DesignHistory #MissionPatch #Documentation #Communication #Storytelling https://benjamin.parry.is/collecting/thoughts/2025/11/future-value-in-a-design-history/

Over the last couple of weeks, we've been pretty flat out working on the Experience CS project for the Raspberry Pi Foundation.

However, somehow we've also found time to finish the design refresh of the Mission Patch website. There's never been a better time to design some laptop stickers to celebrate a project milestone with your team!

There are machines these days that make creating sewn patches as easy as using an inkjet printer, but when they created #NASA mission patches in the 1950s and 60s how were they made?

Can't imagine they were hand sewn – tedious but possible. Likely some sort of punch card system? Would like to see the machine.

The National Reconnaissance Office is due to launch another satellite tomorrow morning, and giving each one a quirky mission patch has become an NROL tradition.

For NROL-68:

“The baby dragon illustrates the birth of a new satellite system while the moon with the mother dragon silhouette represent protection of the Five Eyes community, the nation, and its allies. The passage along the bottom, NUSQUAM CELARE, is Latin for “Nowhere to Hide.”

Two super-cute mission patches from Nanoracks for their Canadian CubeSat Project, for which 5 CubeSats (one from each Canadian province) launched on CRS-28 yesterday. The CubeSats will be deployed from the ISS.
