Among the items issued to astronauts are velcro-backed leather name tags that can be attached to flight suits. This name tag is a spare for Shuttle astronaut Norman E. Thagard, who was a mission specialist on STS-7, STS 51-B, STS-30, and STS-42; he also spent more than three months on Mir, flying to the Russian space station in a Soyuz spacecraft and returning on STS-71.

NASA transferred a number of spare astronaut name tags to the Museum over the years, including this one in 2001.
