Our Starship Flight 13 patch design is here! Inspired by SpaceX Starship Flight 13, which is launching from Starbase, Texas, to further advance the Starship program. This flight marks another step off the list for a higher launch cadence. Made by space nerds for space nerds. Enjoy our Starship Flight 13 design on a collector's patch, so you can continue building your NSF SpaceX Starship Patch collection! The Dimensions: 4IN X 4IN patch The Embroidery: This is a fully embroidered patch with an overlock border for lasting quality. The Shipping: This item has arrived at the warehouse and is now shipping! The Design: Redesigned Hot Stage Interface: I wanted to highlight one of the most noticeable changes introduced with the Version 3 booster, the redesigned hot stage interface. Including this feature helps distinguish the booster from previous versions and celebrates the continued evolution of Starship's hardware. Three Grid Fins: One detail I specifically wanted to showcase was the new three grid fin configuration. Previous boosters featured four grid fins, so including the updated design immediately identifies this as a Version 3 booster while celebrating one of its most recognizable visual changes. Cryogenic Propellants: I intentionally incorporated the white sections to indicate the locations of the CH₄ and LOX tanks while depicting the frost created by the cryogenic propellants inside. This was a deliberate design choice to ground the artwork in a real characteristic of the booster, making the patch feel more authentic to those familiar with Super Heavy's return profile. The 13 Engine Landing Burn: The engine section was one of the most important elements for me. I wanted the bright exhaust plume to draw attention to the 13 center engines, representing Flight 13 and symbolizing the hope that it becomes the first Version 3 booster to successfully complete a 13-engine boostback burn. That milestone served as the inspiration and focal point of the entire design.
