This yellow banner featuring the Snoopy character from the Charles M. Schultz cartoon "Peanuts" is a souvenir of the Apollo Program. Schultz allowed NASA to use the copyrighted character of Snoopy from his popular newspaper cartoon strip "Peanuts" as a part of NASA's internal promotional campaigns to promote workplace safety, product quality, and focus on the overall mission. Snoopy's frequent depiction as a pilot (notice his World War I flying ace scarf around his neck below his space helmet) lent itself to the character's depiction as an astronaut.

This banner, which was transferred to the National Collection from the Library of Congress in 1997, mostly likely originated as a part of NASA's flight safety efforts.
