iriss education logo

ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen’s patch to highlight the educational programme to inspire youngsters during his 10-day mission to the International Space Station in 2015. The iriss mission has two patches, one to highlight the mission overall and one for the educational programme.

A competition in Andreas’ home country of Denmark attracted 500 entrants, with two designs chosen by an expert jury to represent iriss and Andreas.

His educational logo was designed by 19-year-old Louise Nielsen, who adopted the same colours as the mission logo. The design shows Andreas heading into space on a rocket.
