NASA MSFC badge

From my collection of vintage NASA credentials. This badge is an example of the type of credentials that were issued to NASA employees following the initial creation of the space agency in the late 1950’s. This early example is of the type that was issued to all individuals who were employed by the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in Huntsville, AL during the Mercury and early Gemini space programs (1960-1965).

 

Lendle was a rocket propulsion engineer who originally worked for the Army Ballistic Missile Agency (ABMA) in the 1950’s. When he transitioned from the ABMA, Lendle became one of the first engineers to be employed by NASA. During his career at NASA, Lendle worked on the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs.
