NASA Fruit Fly Lab-01 Mission Patch - Space Biology Research #2107874 (License: Personal Use)

This circular mission patch represents NASA’s Fruit Fly Lab-01 experiment, which studied the effects of microgravity on Drosophila melanogaster genetics and development aboard the International Space Station. The design integrates a central fruit fly, flanked by DNA double helices, with the ISS above and Earth below-emphasizing the intersection of spaceflight, genomics, and planetary science.

Used on NASA mission pages, educational resources, and press kits to visually communicate the goals of space-based biological research; targets educators, students, scientists, and space enthusiasts seeking authoritative info on microgravity experiments.
