ISS-71
The Expedition 71 patch symbology represents onboard research into quantum behavior of novel states of matter, antibodies and immune function, the search for dark matter, flame and combustion physics, DNA expression, plant growth and root behavior, and direct earth observation. The human eye and microscope objectives at upper left form the apex of a cone of vision culminating in the Expedition number 71, and represents the deliberate and disciplined practice of scientific observation.
Earth's moon and Mars are also depicted as next steps for exploration, with an anticipation of further rich scientific discovery using many techniques and skills honed aboard the ISS.

ISS-70
The patch for Expedition 70, designed - for the first time - by ESA graphic designers Hugo Simões and Hugo Dias, is based on 'yinyang', the well-known philosophical symbol of balance between two complementary forces — yin and yang — that make up all aspects and phenomena of life. In this depiction, the red and orange tones in the lower half of the patch represent science and and the dark blue represents space exploration in the upper half.
The Expedition number '70' is suggested by representations of the Space Station's orbit joined by the plume from a launcher forming the '7' in white, followed by the '0' as a white orbit which, after circling Earth points into the dark background, hinting at future deep-space exploration. Red, white and blue trails join the Space Station orbit, the colours from the flags of the four participating nations (Denmark, Japan, USA and Russia).
Our planet, in blue and white, is surrounded by the white orbital 'swoosh' of the '0', representing the themes of climate research and benefits of science for life on Earth. The four stars represent the four crew members, as well as the four participating nations.
