Among the items issued to astronauts are Velcro-backed name tags that can be attached to their flight suits and jackets. This name tag is a spare for Shuttle astronaut Richard H. Truly, who served as a pilot for the approach and landing test flights (Enterprise, 1977) and then piloted the second space shuttle mission (STS-2, Columbia, 1982) and commanded STS-8 (Challenger, 1983). Truly served as NASA Administrator in 1989-1992. NASA transferred a number of spare astronaut name tags to the Museum over the years.
