Summary
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 Shannon W. Lucid, who was a mission specialist on STS 51-G, STS-34, STS-43, and STS-58. She also spent 6 months on Mir, flying to and from the Russian space station on STS-76 and STS-79 and setting a US record for longest-duration spaceflight.
