NROL-85 Mission Patch

Mission patches are a badge of honor and a key asset for every SpaceX mission. Fans go nuts over them. The patches are used online, made into physical patches that you can put on clothing, bags, etc., and merchandise is also sold with the patches on it. Mission patches ultimately become collector’s items.
