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 Jerry L. Ross, who was a mission specialist on STS 61-B, STS-27, STS-37, STS-55, STS-74, STS-88, and STS-110.
NASA transferred a number of spare astronaut name tags to the Museum over the years, including this one in 2001.
