Ceremonial Banner of Soyuz MS-02 ISS Expedition 49 .

The size of the banner is 39” x 59 “, double faced.

 Soyuz MS-02 crew emblem was designed as a round shape, symbolizing the perfection of everything created in the universe. In the center of the emblem there is an image of the sacred Mount Tabor, located in the Holy Land. On top of the mountain is a source of light, symbolizing the sanctification that lights all Earthly things. From this source emerge three beams, representing the desire of the members of the crew and the intention to successfully complete all upcoming tasks. Mount Tabor is framed by the letter Ф ("F"), depicted in the form of an orbit, at the top of which is the International Space Station and at the base the Soyuz spacecraft. Inside the letter "F" are stars symbolizing the surrounding space and three stars symbolizing the crew, whose names are inscribed in a stylized font along the outline of the emblem with the state flags of Russia and the United States, the name of the ship Soyuz MS-02 and the logo of Roscosmos. Also inside the letter "F" is "Favor" — the crew call sign, the main symbol of the logo.

Soyuz MS-02 was a 2016 Soyuz spaceflight that was planned for a 23 September 2016 launch, but because of technical difficulties it launched on 19 October 2016. It transported three members of the Expedition 49 crew to orbit and docked with the International Space Station. Soyuz MS-02 was the 131st flight of a Soyuz spacecraft. The crew consisted of a Russian commander cosmonaut Sergey Ryzhikov and flight engineer cosmonaut Andrei Borisenko, as well as an American flight engineer NASA astronaut Shane Kimntough. Soyuz MS-02 docked with Poisk (MRM-2) module on 21 October 2016.

Soyuz MS-02 returned to Earth on 10 April 2017. During its descent, the capsule was partially depressurized when the main parachute deployed. The landing occurred at 11:20 UTC. The total flight duration was 173 days.
