Apollo Space Missions Gear Up for Anniversaries

LMI will help commemorate the historic events with apparel and headwear in South Korea.

The International Space Archives is a digital library of mission patches, photos, films and videos from sources including NASA and the international space programs of Russia, Japan, China, India and the European Union.

2018 will mark the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 8 mission, which was the first manned mission to leave Earth’s orbit as well as head to and circumnavigate the moon over Christmas, December 1968. Meanwhile, 2019 will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, which saw the first man land on the moon in July 1969.

To gear up for the Apollo missions’ milestone anniversaries, the agency has tapped New Era Caps in South Korea to create a line of headwear using the ISA mission patches artwork. The line will be available in other New Era Caps territories, including New Era Japan.
