The Mission Patch:

The Expedition 42 crew wrote the description that follows: The rectangular-shaped
design portrays the International Space Station orbiting planet Earth with its solar
array wings spread wide. Facing the sun with the lower left outboard solar array
feathered, the left array portrays a prominent number “4” and the fully deployed
arrays on the right form the Roman numeral version of “2.” This signifies the two
increment crews which, together, comprise the six-member international Expedition
42 crew. The crew and all supporting personnel around the world are also
represented by the six stars adorning the sky around the complex.
