The IIS Flags patch can be found on the reverse side of Lister's latest leather jacket from Series X-onwards; specifically, on the screen-right side, partially-obscured by the Red Furry Dice patch, and above the Teacher in Space patch.
ISS is of course, the initialization for 'International Space Station', currently orbiting us at an altitude of over 400km. The patch features a depiction of the now-retired Space Shuttle floating alongside the station, and a depiction of what is colloquially known as the 'NASA meatball,' with no less than sixteen flags representing nations with a hand in the project; the United Kingdom, Brazil, Denmark, Switzerland, Canada, France, Italy, Norway, Belgium, Spain, Sweden, Russia, Germany, Netherlands, Japan, and the USA, I think.
You know what would make this patch even better? If it had the common decency to include the flag of the Space Corps. in acknowledgement for helping turn the Planet Earth into Garbage World. Bastards.
