Ceremonial flag of Soyuz TMA-02M ISS Expedition 28.

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

The crew emblem was approved by the head of Roscosmos Anatoly Perminov on March 11, 2011. The winner of the traditional children's competition for the creation of the spacecraft emblem was 8-year-old Katya Ikramova from Krasnoyarsk. Katya's work came to the consideration of the Russian Space Agency after she became the winner of the children's drawing competition held at the Krasnoyarsk Machine-Building Plant (the girl's father is a leading engineer of the department at Krasmash).

In her drawing (more precisely, an artistic application made of colored foil) Katya depicted a rocket rushing from the Earth into the distance of stars. The image of the rocket is made in the style of science fiction of the 50s of the last century, when astronautics was born. Based on the drawing by Katya Ikramova, artists from the Netherlands Luc van den Abeelen, Jacques van Oene and Erik van der Hoorn developed the emblem of the Union TMA-02M.

The emblem shows the Soyuz spacecraft going to dock with the ISS. The six stars on the patch represent the six astronauts working in near-earth orbit. The names of the crew members are inscribed on the perimeter of the emblem. The emblem also features the logo of the Russian Space Agency.

Soyuz TMA-02M was a space mission that transported three members of the Expedition 28 crew to the International Space Station. TMA-02M was the 110th flight of a Soyuz spacecraft and the second flight of the improved Soyuz-TMA-M series. The Soyuz remained docked to the space station for the Expedition 28 increment to serve as a potential emergency escape vehicle.
