Covering the period from the beginning of the Cold War to the installation of the International Space Station, this book documents a rare collection: almost 250 mission patches worn by Soviet and Russian cosmonauts since 1963. The collection not only comprises partially forgotten mission patches, but also includes rare photographs of spacecraft crews and space stations.

As well as providing additional historical information, the collection also retraces the formation and development of Soviet and Russian symbolism in terms of space travel and brings the his tory of cosmic heraldry to life.
