Museum Provenance

The flight suit worn by astronaut payload specialist Jake Garn on NASA’s STS 51-D Space Shuttle mission aboard Discovery in April 1985 is one of many items of astronaut gear in the collections of the National Air and Space Museum. At the time of his flight, former U.S. Navy pilot Jake Garn was a U.S. senator (R-Utah) on the Senate Appropriations Committee and serving as chairman of the subcommittee overseeing NASA’s budget.
