Our last mission pin campaign featured two standout 'vehicle-only' pins — the Apollo LEM and Vostok capsule. They were our favorites, and now we're bringing more!
Funny thing about the LEM and Vostok vehicle pins from the Giant Leaps series — they ended up being my personal favorites of everything we've made across both campaigns. There's something about holding just the spacecraft itself, no text, no mission badge framing, just the vehicle in all its weird, iconic glory. When they came back from production I kept picking them up. Wearing them. Showing them off. And I wasn't alone — the LEM in particular has been a consistent seller.
So we figured: let's just lean into it. A whole series of vehicle-only pins. Equally iconic spacecraft, same philosophy, smaller footprint.
We're starting with seven designs — two reprints and five new ones:
Reprints
Apollo Lunar Excursion Module (LEM)
Vostok 1
New Designs
Artemis Orion Capsule
Hubble Space Telescope
Perseverance rover (Curiosity and Perseverance are nearly identical — same love, one pin)
Voyager (1 or 2 — same situation)
Cassini
These are all hard enamel with silver or appropriately matched line work, consistent with the previous series. They're designed around a 1.5" feel — though some run a bit longer due to their booms (looking at you, Voyager and Cassini) — but as a set they'll read as the same scale. Each pin comes on a card back in a bag, ready to gift or collect.
If you're new here, both previous campaigns are still very much alive in the add-on shop. Here's what's available:
Giclée Posters
Giclée prints for missions across all three of our series — Historic Robotic Spacecraft (Voyager, Cassini, Mars Science Lab, and more), Giant Leaps in Space (Apollo, ISS, Vostok, and more), and the Space Telescope series. All printed archival quality on Red River satin paper, 13×19".
Larger Screen Prints Too
We also have screen prints for many of these missions, except when they are out of stock. Most of them are significantly larger, measuring either 20 x 36 or 36 x 18 inches (for the Historic Robotic and Giant Leaps series), and are considered premium options. The Space Telescopes Series, on the other hand, are medium-sized, measuring 16 x 20 inches. It is easier to list the out-of-stock items as screen prints, and all of them belong to the Giant Leaps Series: Apollo, ISS, and Apollo LRV.
Tees
Apollo
James Webb
Planet Finders (TESS, Spitzer, and Kepler)
Hubble
Voyager
Cassini
Mars Science Lab
Available in unisex, oversize, women's relaxed and slim fits, and kids sizing.
Pins
Selected items from previous pin campaigns are available as add-ons — Giant Leaps mission pins (Apollo, ISS, Vostok, LRV), Historic Robotic Spacecraft pins (Voyager, Cassini, Mars Science, Sputnik, New Horizons, Galileo), and Dino Extinction (Remember Chicxulub, Defend Earth, Look Up!, Dino Space Program).
Mission Patches
The embroidered mission patch set is also available as an add-on. Only Vostok is sold-out.
The Super League of Science is back this August, running through September. If you backed our Giant Leaps series last year, you were already part of it — that campaign was one of the seven projects in the inaugural event.
The idea is simple: science and space-themed creative projects launch together, building a shared audience and more visibility for everyone involved. Last year we had 7 projects. This year the goal is 12–15.
So this is a call not just to backers — but to creatives. If you make science or space-themed work and you've been sitting on a project idea, this is the time. Reach out. Spread the word. The stronger the lineup, the better it is for everyone.
