Soyuz TM-29 Perseus mission patch, 1999

ESA cosmonaut Jean-Pierre (FR) and Ivan Bella (SK) flew on Soyuz TM-29 to Mir in February 1999. Bella was the first Slovak citizen to fly in space. Their commander, cosmonaut Viktor Afanasyev was the only Russian aboard. Their joint Russian-French-Slovak mission lasted for 9 days.

With two foreign cosmonauts on board, neither of the national mission logos could be classified as 'official' and worn by all three cosmonauts. All three crewmemberswore the Soyuz flight patch, designed by Spaceview designer Luc van den Abeelen, on their Sokol flight suits, plus their national mission emblems.

This is the ESA/CNES Perseus mission patch.
