Ceremonial flag of Soyuz MS-05 ISS Expedition.

The size of the flag is 39” x 59 “, double faced.

Soyuz MS-06 mission emblem of the crew of the spacecraft Soyuz MS-06 is designed around a stylized image of an eagle, spreading its wings. The powerful bird in the image also recalls the city of Oyol, where spacecraft commander Alexander Misurkin grew up. The crew's callsign is "Altair": the brightest star in the constellation of the Eagle. The design of the graphic symbol of the crew is made in a simple three-color palette; the continents of our planet are depicted in a minimalist manner — dots in the style of computer graphics. In the center of the emblem a Soyuz spacecraft is depicted in flight. In the lower part of the emblem the logos of Roscosmos and NASA are shown. The top part of the border shows the name of the Soyuz MS-06 spacecraft while the bottom part is taken up by the crew members' names.

The first emblems of Russian space expeditions appeared only in the mid-1990s, they were sewn on clothes and space suits of cosmonauts, and were used in souvenirs. In the 2000s, banners of space expeditions based on these emblems also appeared. As a rule, these are white panels with a large emblem in the center. Over time, a whole ritual developed: the flight participants, shortly before the start, leave autographs on the expedition banner, which is then sent to the museum of the Baikonur Cosmodrome. This is followed by traditional photography with this flag. Moreover, not only the main crew is photographed, but also the backup crews, so the number of astronauts in the picture usually exceeds the number of names on the mission emblem.

Soyuz MS-06 was a Soyuz spaceflight which launched on 13 September 2017. It transported three members of the Expedition 53 crew to the ISS. Soyuz MS-06 was the 135th flight of a Soyuz spacecraft. The crew consisted of a Russian commander cosmonaut Alexander Mizurkin, and two American flight engineers NASA astronauts Mark T. Vande Hei and Joseph M. Acaba. It returned to Earth on 28 February 2018 after 168 days in orbit.
