Earth.The blue colour of the emblem represents our blue planet , its orientation
reveals the western hemisphere and the UK, the home of AIS. The white printer

emblem signifying human spaceflight. The yellow colour in the emblem represents
the gold pin which is awarded to astronauts after making their first space
