Summary

Description
English: The insignia for NASA's 14th group of astronaut trainees nicknamed "The Hogs".
  • As its central motif, the class emblem depicts the astronaut star and logo as designed by the original seven astronauts. This is shown in silver to symbolize the silver pin that the class members receive upon completion of their training. The border of the patch is composed of 24 gold stars, one for each member of the class. The flags of their countries of origin are also shown. The "XIV" signifies that this is the fourteenth astronaut group selected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the "92" signifies that this is the class of 1992. These combine into 1492, the year of the first European voyage to the new world. A sailing vessel and the Space Shuttle, connected by a crescent plume, symbolize and commemorate 500 years of exploration.
