Posted By:

Space.com report that the civilian crew of the September SpaceX flight aboard Dragon have been awarded special company flight wings.

These are distinct from official Federal Aviation Authority wings.

The wings are a stylized dragon and have each crew member's name, call sign and mission role inscribed on the back.
