Description: This banner was produced by the Thiokol's Wasatch division with the Serial number 0007919 and Item number IU50727-0107703 on the reverse side. It still has the tether strap attached.
This tag and others like it were used to mark support hardware, protective covers, and various items temporarily attached to the orbiter and/or its payloads that were not meant for flight. The red color helped engineers to easily spot and confirm that all equipment requiring removal was taken off before the shuttle launched into orbit.
