Own a documented piece of space history. This is an authentic, vintage NASA temporary area access permit issued to a contractor specialist at the John F. Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in the spring of 1987.
As captured, this incredibly detailed historical document was issued to Wilmer B. Rogers representing Ford Aerospace & Communications Corp. The badge features a massive, bold red stamp dated 05 MAR 87, with an original system print time of 06:59 on 03-03-87.
This pass granted high-level facility access to the most iconic locations on the Space Coast, explicitly printed on the face:
LC-39: Launch Complex 39 (the historic home of the Apollo Moon missions and Space Shuttle launches).
KSC IND: Kennedy Space Center Industrial Area.
CCAFS IND: Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Industrial Area.
The bottom of the badge proudly bears the iconic vintage NASA "Worm" logo alongside the official designation for the John F. Kennedy Space Center / Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, stamped with individual badge serial number 108364. It also features a "RED" security clearance indicator on the right edge, complete with its original vintage security staple.
The Backstory
This badge comes directly from the private family estate of a lifelong NASA mission specialist. Unlike mass-produced souvenirs, this is a real, operational piece of security history used on-site by the aerospace contractors who kept America’s space program moving forward during the critical post-Challenger rebuilding era of 1987.
