[edit]DescriptionISS Expedition 37 Patch.png |
English: Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man, created some 525 years ago, as a blend of art and science and a symbol of the medical profession, is depicted amongst the orbits of a variety of satellites circling the Earth at great speed. Da Vinci's drawing, based on the proportions of man as described by the Roman architect Vitruvius, is often used as a symbol of symmetry of the human body and the universe as a whole. Almost perfect in symmetry as well, the International Space Station, with its solar wings spread out and illuminated by the first rays of dawn, is pictured as a mighty beacon arcing upwards across our night skies, the ultimate symbol of science and technology of our age. Six stars represent the six members of Expedition 37 crew, which includes two cosmonauts with a medical background, as well as a native of Da Vinci's Italy.
Deutsch: Leonardo da Vincis vitruvianischer Mensch, erschaffen etwa vor 525 Jahren als eine Mischung aus Kunst und Wissenschaft sowie als Symbol des medizinischen Berufsstandes, wird zwischen den Umlaufbahnen einer Vielzahl von Satelliten dargestellt, die die Erde mit großer Geschwindigkeit umkreisen. Da Vincis Zeichnung, basierend auf den Proportionen eines Mannes, der vom römischen Architekten Vitruv beschrieben wurde, wird oft gebraucht als Symbol der Symmetrie des menschlichen Körpers und des Universums im Allgemeinen. Die nahezu perfekt symmetrische Internationale Raumstation mit ihren ausgebreiteten Sonnensegeln und beleuchtet von den ersten Strahlen des Sonnenaufgangs ist abgebildet als mächtiges Leuchtfeuer, welches sich aufwärts über unsere nächtlichen Horizonte bewegt als ultimatives Symbol von Wissenschaft und Technologie unseres Zeitalters. Sechs Sterne repräsentieren die sechs Mitglieder der Expedition-37-Crew, welche zwei Kosmonauten mit medizinischem Hintergrund, sowie einen Einheimischen aus Da Vincis Italien beinhaltet. |
