This name badge belonged to the donor of the launch pad closeout crew chief uniform. Below his name, the USA signifies his employer, United Space Alliance, NASA's Space Shuttle operations contractor. An astronaut took this name badge into space and photographed it there as a courtesy to Mr. Thompson in appreciation for his long service on the closeout crew, from 1983 through 2011. Thompson gave his complete uniform to the Museum after the final Shuttle launch in 2011.
