Object Details
- Astronaut
- Judith A. Resnik
- Summary
- Among the items issued to astronauts are Velcro-backed leather name tags that can be attached to their flight suits and jackets. This name tag is a spare for Shuttle astronaut Judith A. (Judy) Resnik, one of the first women selected into the astronaut corps. She flew as a mission specialist on the STS 41-D mission in 1984, and she was a member of the STS 51-L mission crew who died in the Challenger launch accident on January 28, 1986. Astronauts chose the version of their name on these tags; this one shows the familiar form of Resnik's first name. NASA transferred a number of spare astronaut name tags to the Museum over the years.
