Rocket Raccoon and Groot are Featured on the Official ISS Mission Patch

The Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) recently teamed up with Marvel to make an official mission patch featuring Rocket Raccoon and Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy for the U.S. National Laboratory on the International Space Station (ISS).

This is a pretty cool design for a patch, and it’s fun to see the geeks at Marvel teaming up with the geeks at NASA to create stuff like this. 

The patch was revealed at Comic-Con last weekend by CASIS rep Patrick O’Neill, who notes that the patch represents all of the scientific investigations on the station’s National Laboratory for 2016. He said:

“These are characters who have a bit of a space-based background to begin with. So both of [these] characters already embody some of the characteristics associated with what’s happening on the space station.”

We have a video below for you to check out that offers a few more details about the creation of the patch:
