• The crew insignia for Soyuz TMA-11M, designed by spacepatches.nl (Luc van den Abeelen) in cooperation with commander Michail Tyurin and his crew. Like Tyurin's earlier Soyuz TMA-9 patch, this design features the MAI 6th logo - the faculty of the Moscow Aviation Institute that he graduated from. Also pictured is an Olympic flame, for this flight will deliver to the ISS the Sochi 2014 torch.
