ALTIUS Mission Patch

The customer’s request

To promote the ALTIUS 2025 Mission objective, ESA Earth Observation  asked ReMedia to create a patch representing the satellite in orbit and its earth observation functions. The mission’s objective will be to study and monitor, through satellite techniques, data from UV and infrared rays that interact with the earth’s atmosphere. The analysis carried out will be able to understand climate change, weather forecasts and long-term trends.

Our answer

A mission patch is a cloth reproduction of a spaceflight mission emblem worn by astronauts and other personnel affiliated with that mission. The design of the ALTIUS patch aimed to represent in a single graphic all the direct and indirect protagonists of the mission:

• the satellite
• the blue/transparent beam of the atmosphere
• the sun
• a mantle of sky and stars visible from the Earth
• European continent

All elements are enclosed within a circle, following ESA official guidelines for this type of project. To increase awareness and strengthen ESA image in Europe and around the world, the graphic are designed in full respect of ESA guidelines. This ensure a brand reinforcement, boosting the relationship between ESA and the public, enabling the audience to understand ESA culture, history and ambitions.
