A variation of the Astronaut badge is also issued to civilians who are employed with NASA as specialists on space flight missions.

Military Badge

Each of the military services issues its own version of the Astronaut Badge, which consists of a standard Aviator's Badge with an Astronaut Device (shooting star through a halo) centered on the badge's shield, or escutcheon. The United States Army and Air Force Astronaut Badges are issued in three degrees: Basic, Senior, and Master. The Senior Astronaut Badge is denoted by a star centered above the decoration, while the Master level is indicated by a star and wreath.

United States Army

The Astronaut Badge issued by the U.S. Army is awarded in three levels: Basic, Senior, and Master. An Army astronaut may also receive a variation of the badge if training was completed but the astronaut never participated in a space mission. In such cases, the Army issues the Army Aviation Badge with Astronaut Device.

United States Air Force

Like the Army, the Air Force issues its astronaut badge in three degrees: Basic, Senior, and Master. The Air Force Astronaut Badge consists of a standard Pilot's Badge, upon which is centered the Astronaut Device.

United States Navy

The Navy Astronaut Badge is issued in a single degree and consists of a Naval Aviator Badge with a centered astronaut emblem. The Navy also bestows the Naval Flight Officer Astronaut Badge for Naval Flight Officers who are qualified astronauts and serve in support roles on space missions.

United States Marines

United States Marine astronauts are issued the Navy Astronaut Badge upon completion of training and participation in a space flight. The Marine Corps refers to the badge by its Navy title. The badge is identical for both the Navy and the Marine Corps. Marine Corps Flight Officers are also eligible to receive the Naval Flight Officer Astronaut Badge.

United States Coast Guard

The Coast Guard Astronaut Badges are also issued in the same manner as the United States Navy.

Civilian Badge

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has granted commercial astronaut wings to private pilots who have performed a successful space flight. NASA also has its own version of the Astronaut badge, which is provided to civilian personnel who serve as mission specialists on board U.S. space missions.
